Hi:
So i am trying to get some insite about this. Basically, what temp (taken in armpit w/ a good digital thermometer, sorry not doing the butt) for a 17 month old is time to worry? What temp would be one where i should try and lower it, rather than "let the fever do its job?"
I can't seem to get a straight answer about this. I know its also important to see how the child feels/is acting.
If the kid is just being more whiney/clingy, but still ok not lethargic.
I tend to give some fever meds if its around 102/103 to lower the temp.....and i suppose i would worry if it reached 105? Does that seem right?
Thanks.
