8月28号打了18个月的预防针白百破和麻腮风后的第二天半夜（8月30日凌晨），Julie发起了高烧，开始还是39度以下的，到了早上就变成39度以上了，怀疑是预防针引起的反应，所以吃了点退烧药继续观察。高烧让原来高高兴兴的Julie哭闹地厉害，只有吃了退烧药以后才能安稳睡3，4个小时。然而退烧药也只能让体温暂时降到38度，而且小美林24小时以内只能服4次，所以还是以物理降温为主。洗澡能让Julie感觉好很多，到了水里情绪很快就好了，还能玩一会儿，所以一天洗了N次澡。
原本期待第二天会退烧，因为如果仅仅是预防针的反应不应该拖很久，然而高烧依旧，这让我开始担心起来。因为Julie有尿路感染史，每次身体有什么必然会导致尿路感染复发。忧心忡忡地在家留了小便化验，结果却是正常，这让我松了口气，至少不用又吃抗生素了。考虑到Julie没有任何感冒症状，胃口也不是非常坏，我坚信发烧和预防针脱不了关系，虽然这样样反应不太正常。继续自己护理Julie，虽然这让人身心疲惫。Julie不睡觉，但又要一直抱着，高烧引起的不适让她不停的带着哭腔喊"妈妈抱抱"，即便我已经抱着她了。这样的表现不仅让我体力透支，有时还让我心烦意乱，忍不住对她大吼大叫，不许她再说话，可是我越这样说，Julie哭得就会越厉害，然后就会吐。现在想来，她不过是用不停的说话来缓解不适罢了，我当时那样对待她似乎很mean。
48个小时就在不适，焦虑和疲惫中过去了，9月1号凌晨，Julie的烧终于退尽再也没有起来，我也终于可以安稳的睡到天亮。
每个父母都经历过孩子发高烧，摸着宝宝烫手的身体实在吓人。这次是Julie第一次长时间的发39.5, 39.6这样的高烧，就在我犹豫不决是否要带Julie去医院的时候，xx让我看了关于小儿发烧的文章，对我很有帮助，节选如下：
In healthy kids, fevers usually don't indicate anything serious.
Although it can be frightening when your child's temperature rises,
fever itself causes no harm and can actually be a good thing — it's
often the body's way of fighting off infections. And not all fevers
need to be treated. High fever, however, can make a child uncomfortable
and aggravate problems such as dehydration
In the past, doctors advised treating a fever on the basis of
temperature alone. But now they recommend considering both the
temperature and the child's overall condition.
Kids whose temperatures are lower than 102° Fahrenheit (38.9°
Celsius) often don't require medication unless they're uncomfortable.
There's one important exception to this rule: If you have an infant 3
months or younger with a rectal temperature of 100.4° Fahrenheit (38°
Celsius) or higher, call your doctor or go to the emergency department
immediately. Even a slight fever can be a sign of a potentially serious
infection in very young infants.
If your child is between 3 months and 3 years old and has a fever of
102.2° Fahrenheit (39° Celsius) or higher, call the doctor to see if he
or she needs to see your child. For older kids, take behavior and
activity level into account. Watching how your child behaves will
give you a pretty good idea whether a minor illness is the cause or if
your child should be seen by a doctor.
The illness is probably not serious if your child:
- is still interested in playing
- is eating and drinking well
- is alert and smiling at you
- has a normal skin color
- looks well when his or her temperature comes down
And don't worry too much about a child with a fever who doesn't want
to eat. This is very common with infections that cause fever. For kids
who still drink and urinate normally, not eating as much as usual is OK.
