Note: You may be against antibiotics, but DO go see a doctor before it gets too bad. I damn near killed myself last May by waiting too long.....
I called for her today and they didn't have any doctors in the office. Luckily, we got the fever down, but I still want her to go see the doctor tomorrow.orchid blossom said:105 is time to be at the doctor. It's dangerous to your health and is worse than a simple cold.
What is carmex? I'm not familiar with it and it sounds like something my poor nose might like.orchid blossom said:My husband also found that rubbing a little carmex on his nose when it was getting sore from blowing was soothing.

Thanks for the link. Petroleum jelly sounds like a good idea too, but the only jar in the house occassionally goes on my daughter's butt, so I don't think I want it near my nose.Torm said:Just the thing for chapped lips and fever blisters, although it would probably help moisturize a nose, too. I just use a little petroleum jelly for that, though - cheaper.
