what is Talc used for?

Answer:

very high fever! HOSPITAL NOW!!
It could still be an infection, just a viral infection instead of a bacterial infectionFood poisoning could potentially be a possibility (not likely in a child this age, but you never know), since it can also cause feverIn addition to the motrin you could put her in the tub, sometimes a bath can helpIf it stays high or gets higher, take her to the ER, please!
It's worth calling your doctor's office, regardless of the timeThey should have a way to get someone to call you when there's an emergencyA high fever could be any number of things: one thing the baby books were quite clear on was that the fever alone isn't what determines the cause, it's the other things that go with itIf she's on antibiotics, she can still get a virusMake a list of her other symptoms, and go over them when you have your phone call.
The antibiotics might not be workingI would give the doctor a call in the morning given the circumstancesNormally I would assume it's a virus and let it go for a couple days as long as it doesn't get much higher and comes down with motrinGiven the dog bite I wouldn't chance itHow does the are look around the bite? Any redness or swelling? My brother was hospitalized for a cat bite after the oral antibiotics didn't work, he needed IV ones.
