I got a really bad cold a few weeks ago and I had read that at 102 you should be calling your doctor and going somewhere. I got to 101.6 before I was able to get the fever down. I would recommend you drink lots of cool water, even take a cool bath or shower, and do whatever else you feel comfortable doing to get the fever down (Tylenol...). In a really short amount of time I had gone from a mild fever to the 101.6 mark and that started to scare me. Remember that lb has a body temperature quite a bit higher than yours so if you are hot, then lb is getting even hotter. My doctor was pleased that I had gotten my fever down and reasonably sure that no harm had come to lb but she would have wanted to see me if the fever had gotten any higher or had lasted any longer.
