Hi, my husband has been running a fever of 105 today. I came home from work to find him on the couch with a thick blanket on him. I immediately took the blanket and made him get in a luke warm bath. Well that was 3 hrs ago and his fever is still 102. I don't know what to do! I have a wet washcloth on him and have been checking on him. I am only letting him use a sheet to cover up with and have been taking his temp every 30 min. I just want to ask everyone that is already a nurse what else I can do. I just feel that taking him to the hospital is dumb if I am able to help him here at home. I mean, what else can really be done? except give him antibiotics if its bacterial. (which I think it is) I have had a really loose gurgally cough for about 3 weeks now and It started with laryngitis and then became the cough. I felt bad but I still worked and went to school. But I don't think my fever was 105! But my daughter ended up catching it and she got a fever of 105 but I was able to break hers w/in like 2 hrs. I did have to put her in the bathtub 2 times that night but she was fine the next day. But I guess I just kinda answered my own question. I guess I should take him to the hospital if it doesn't break so that they can start antibiotics. If that is right or if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks everyone!
