Random fever wwyd

LO has been running a low grade fever since last night. No other symptoms and she slept normal last night. I thought it might be her teeth but they don't look/feel any different. Would you give Tylenol or just wait until she acts uncomfortable or the fever rises? Thanks! Pic for your time!

  • She is aDORABLE!

    What's the fever? My pedi said they don't consider anything under 101 something to worry about.

    I personally would give Motrin if it's 100

  • It hasn't hit 100, just in the 99.something range!
  • Don't give anything for that temp unless LO is acting uncomfortable/in pain. 99s is technically not even a fever.

    If it is only 99 I wouldn't do anything. A fever is technically over 100.4. What made you take her temp? 


    Her head was unusually warm, And her cheeks a little red
  • I'd undress her or put her in a short sleeve onesie, but would only medicate at that point if she were acting like she felt miserable or if her temp went up.
  • I wouldn't do Tylenol for that.  If she is unusually warm try a cold rag on her forehead or back of her neck.  That is always what I do first before resorting to Tylenol.
