I live in Alaska with only a handful of on call er docs. My 1 yr old had a fever of 100 earlier today. I gave her baby Tylenol, she napped, later had a temp of 102 so we went to the er. When we got there she had temp just shy of 104. They checked her, gave her med. and took her temp again before we left so she’s good. The doc said babies can’t produce a fever they can’t handle, if they do get too high, are fussy and just aren’t acting like they should then go back to the er.

She’s sleeping in my arms now. She’s a little warm on the head. I gave her another thing if Tylenol when I first felt her start to heat up again. How have you handled this? I’m nervous and feel responsible for her feeling this way.
