It came down from 100.5. Thanks all. Dix YGPM.

My doctor always says treat the baby not the fever.  If the fever is really high (anything above 103)  I always call, but unless there are no other symptoms they usually just say to make sure she's comfortable and hydrated. 

So if it's 100 and she's acting miserable, I'll take her in, but if it's 102 and she's acting normal, I'll wait a day or two and see what else develops.

I called last weekend when LO had a 102.2...I would call for anything over 101 for more than a day or two as well.

Ugh. It's back up! 101.9. Could be a long night!
