102.6 fever 8 month old! What would you do?

Question

No other symptoms.

Answer

Give tylenol or ibuprofen and put him in a luke warm tub to cool off and then call...

Answer

Call immediately. My pediatricians office says anything over 101.9 call until they are a year old. Also give a fever reducer, but still call!

Answer

How long has it been that high? I would give them a fever reducer (Motrin) and check in a few hours. If it’s not going down, I would go to urgent care. My daughter gets a fever every time a tooth is erupting through her gums. She would have no other symptoms besides the fever for a few days.

Answer

Better safe than sorry. Go to doctor. Worse than can happen Is they send you home if he’s okay. I just had my baby in hospital for fever, granite he’s 30 days old. So little different. His fever was ranging from 99.5 to 100.4. Everyone kept telling me to wait to see if it got higher, but I didn’t want to chance anything. Went, he ended up having enteroviral meningitis. Not saying your babe is sick, but a little reassurance that he’s okay is what I would do.
