    Under the arm? Probably not unless it's over 101. If LO is acting sick though (lethargic, reduced appetite), then definitely call. Hope your LO is ok!

    I'm not the type to freak about a fever although I know it means the body is fighting something. If LO had a fever of 101ish I would probably wait, since often times nurse lines will tell you to wait 24 hours and see if the fever persists. However, if my child had a super high fever of 103-104ish I'd be bringing him in right away. Luckily the only time he's had a fever so far was right after he was born. Dreading the day :-/ good luck to you and our LO!

    Our pedi told us technically a fever starts at 100.4, but not to do anything for it until it's over 101.  Hope everything is okay!
    ETA Just re-read this and realized you were asking about calling the Dr, I would call after 101.5, but go with your instinct!  They are there for you if you need them.

    No focal symptoms plus fever >101 = call your doctor. Gotta figure out where that fever is coming from.

    That being said, fever plus cold symptoms (runny nose, etc) and I probably wouldn't call the doctor for a fever unless it was >103-104... but... we have two doctors at home so my threshold is a bit higher than most!

    Thx everyone. It was 102 so I called. She said give Tylenol as necessary and call back if it gets above 104 or lasts more than 3 days. Was better this morning but still high so I gave her another dose. She said there are a bunch of viruses going around that are likely the culprit.
