I would just watch out very carefully for fever. Four months is still young to be running a fever for long.

Hope your baby is feeling better soon.

I would also put a call into the peds, so they can document his chart. They may also share some advice. My dd was almost 12 mos old when she had it and it was trying. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to soothe a 4 month old. Many soothing baths. We used aveeno bath, but I do not know what you could use with a 4 month old. hug.gif

Lots of luck and prayers for you and Welcome to the board wavey.gif

The aveeno bath is still ok for a 4 month old. My ped reccomended it to Robbie when he was just a newborn. Baking powder would also work just as well.
