  - I'd give tylenol for that, especially to help him/her sleep, and motrin for anything over 102. 101 is pretty high, it could keep going up.

- i never take temperature. i give tylenol or motrin if i see the fever is affecting them. like if they are lethargic or uncomfortable.

    - because a fever is not an illness, it's the sign of the body's immune system functioning, burning off a virus or infection.

- you give dc medicine for fever now, to keep it down. you don't want the child to spike a fever. unlikely that this would happen, but when temps rise rapidly dc's can have febrile seizures. they're not serious, but scary.
