Charlotte had a 102 fever on Saturday. She ate and nursed just fine, but was just not herself and just wanted to lay on Mommy to rest. I think it must have been teething like Rayskit said because she exhibited no other symptoms. Well, she does have a snotty nose, but it's clear and runny, not indicative of an infection. After some Tylenol and good sleep, she was good as new yesterday.
My doctor told me not to worry (as long as she's not exhibiting worrisome symptoms other than fever) until the fever is 104. That definitely warrants an ER visit.

Re: Fever Question
Yes, that's right... or at least 101-102 isn't rush to ER type of worry if she seems ok otherwise, but I think we all worry anyways.
Sorry she's not feeling good, Eloise and I are both sick with snotty headcolds and it seems like everyone I know has some sort of crud right now.
Crazy Christmas Kids!
that kind of fever is not unusual with teething. could she be cutting some?

Joe has been up to almost 104.3 and the doc said not to worry unless he was still listless when his fever came DOWN!
I hope you guys are feeling better!
