    Really depends on what you are comfortable with, but I don't generally give medication unless the fever is around 102-103 or they are uncomfortable.

    If your DS is miserable, then I'd go with medicine. If not, just let nature take its course to fight off the infection or just build antibodies if it is an MMR reaction.

    Like the PP above, if he is acting uncomfortable and out of sorts then I'd give him a dose. If not then I wouldn't.

    As an RN, we always give Tylenol or Motrin at 100.4 and I do the same for DD.

    LO had a low grade fever for 3 or 4 days one week after the MMR vaccine.  I wouldn't give meds until the fever gets higher (if it does, ours never did).
