Can I give Payton anything for lowgrade fever?

Or is she still too young?  (7.5 weeks)

I'm waiting for the pedi's office to call me back, but she's pretty miserable.  Her temp is hovering between 99 and 100.  :(

    I think you can do Tylenol, but I would wait to hear from the pedi.  The dosage depends on their weight, so I wouldn't know how much to give her.
    Allie ~ 01/26/09 ~ 7 lbs, 9 oz ~ 20.75 in. & Amelia ~ 03/16/11 ~ 8 lbs, 1 oz ~ 21 in.

    Here is a chart similar to what my pedi gave me:

    I'd wait on your pedi to call...Like PP said it's based on her weight so they may or may not recommend it...I'm sorry she has a low grade fever :(  Hopefully she gets to feeling better soon.

    if anything it will be .4 ml (1/2 a dropper) of INFANT tylenol, however given her age, I would wait until the pedi calls you back.
