XP Baby Fever Question

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
My dd is 3 months old and is running a temp of 100.9 I have a call in to her doctors office but I was told they are super busy right now so I have to wait for a nurse to call me back. What is considered a fever and when should I be worried about getting her in? TIA

    How did you take it? Under Arm? Rectal?

    When I had DD the hospital said 100.4 but I am not sure if that still applies because she was a newborn at the time.

    DD#1 is 3! And LO#2 is on his/her way! Due Feb 26th, 2014.

     

    BFP#1: EDD 5/7/2010 born on 5/20/2010. A little girl named Emily.  

    BFP#2: m/c 10/29/2012 EDD was 6/21/2012 Baby Hope was 6 weeks 3 days. 

    BFP#3: Twin B stopped growing at 8 weeks and 5 days. Found on 8/10/2014. EDD was 2/26/2014. Twin A is still doing great and due date is 2/26/14.

    I have a forehead one and an under the arm one. The under arm one was 100.5 but it takes forever and she often flings her arms around while I take it, even holding them down, so it is hard to use for accuracy reading.

    In case of rectal method, the temperature should be below 100.4? Fahrenheit (38? Celsius).In case of auxiliary method, the temperature should be below 99? Fahrenheit (37.2? Celsius).In case of oral method, the temperature should be below 99.5? Fahrenheit (37.5? Celsius).

    This - my pedi says to go to the ER if the temp is over 103 (102 auxillary, 104 rectal).  Have you given her Tylenol? Does she have any other symptoms, like ear pulling or anything?

    i've thought it was an ear infection since she has been touching her right ear and doesn't like to nurse on that side but we went in thurs and the doc said she was fine

    I went in on a Friday for my DD's 4 month checkup and was given an all-clear; by Monday she was wheezing and had an ear infection in BOTH ears.  It can happen really fast - if I were you, if she's still rubbing her ear/running a temp/acting super cranky or listless in the morning, I'd take her in tomorrow.  Poor baby and poor you - hope you hear from the nurse soon!
