Help! First time mom with a son who has a fever that keeps dropping and increasing
So I went to visit my son father with our son on 9/15 ( we don’t live in the same home.) the morning he picked us up our baby was slightly warm but o gave him Motrin so later that same day at night I took our son a warm bath and while I’m drying him off he was shivering. I try to take hold baths at night that way he goes to bed cleaning n the next morning he can play and etc but I do wipe him down here and there. Anyways after his bath he was shivering like a dog which I covered him up and tried to put on his clothes as fast as I can, a hour went be and he woke up put his sleep and he was burning like fire. I took his temperature it was 102.8 degrees I called the pediatrician and the nurse told me what to do and to monitor it for 24. Today 9/16 he pushes himself to be how he is on a daily basis which I’m amazed I’ve token his temperature several times and it just seems it be going up and down. Dad has left us at his home and went to visit his brother. which I called his father and he told me the same thing the nurse said and I asked are you coming back to the house cause I asked u hours ago before the stores closed to get an extra thing of medicine for him ? Now this was 1:12 am. So now we at 2:38am my son is jumping out of his sleep yelling mommy daddy. When I say yelling like your yelling at someone for doing something wrong. Anyways calling the dad again and at this pint he getting fed up that I’m calling his phone to where he cuts his phone off. So it’s be a good 24 hours since his father has not been back at the house to see how his child doing because he out there doing God knows what. So now that he finally shows up at 8:55 pm he starts to show he cares telling me what to do n first thing I said was u need to shower before u come pick up my baby cause our son heard him walking in and just started calling out daddy.

That’s just a back story of what happened. So moral of the story is honestly I’m going to take him to the doctors in the morning because I’ve tried to everything. He started having a running nose while his father had the rag on him so he thinks he has a cold but I find out every odd that we haven’t been to his house in two weeks and all of the sudden we come over and our son gets a fever and running nose. One thing I can say bout my son even if he doesn’t feel good he will try to be himself. He ate food and drank water in between when I gave him he drink his milk ate some rice and chicken for dinner tonight
Any opinion and please don’t bash me or anything I’m posting this on behave of my son because at this point in thinking of taking him to either the er or to his doctor if I see no change
Please I would love someone’s input
