Fever

My daughter is 7 months and had a 101.6 this afternoon. Gave tylenol, went down to 100.6.
Flash forward to 7:00 spiked a 102.5, gave tylenol, climbed to 103.1 and is finally dropping a little. She is eating and drinking fine & has been laughing and playing all night. My question is...(after my novel) when do I go to ER? My pedi says anything over 104. This is our first fever and to be honest I'm scared as hell. 103 freaked me out!

    Agree with PPs. 104 or if meds don't work or she stops having wet diapers.
    I also used to sleeps on the floor when they were sick.

    Hugs!

    Ditto to what everyone else said. From experience with a 103-105 fever for many days, a big thing to look out for is if they are lethargic. If they are sleepy and won't wake up you need to get to a hospital. They admitted my son for 3 days when that happened, but he's perfectly fine now. Good luck and follow up please.

    We've always been told that any fever that responds to meds is a ok unless there are other concerns at play. Not wet diapers, lethargy, etc.

    When I took DD1 to the ER for a high fever (about 2 years ago) they told me to give a combination of tylenol and advil. I would give her tylenol, then 4 hours later advil. It really helped. Hope LO feels better!
