- bognition 5y agoI’m so sorry
- morsch 5y agoThat's a fever, but not a particularly high one, right? 40C/104F is what I'd consider high and that seems to be the norm around here, though I've met parents who wait even beyond that before giving medication. Hope your kid is back on their feet soon!
- jansan 5y agoAs the other poster wrote, 100,9F is not particularly high. Here doctors recommend to keep fever below 39° (102,2F). When my child had the flu, we achieved this by alternating between Ibuprofen and Paracetamol in order to keep the doses low. All the best to you.

- scruple 5y agoMy twins both had Roseola around the same time, when they were about 18 months and had recently entered day care. They both went around 104* F.
- senectus1 5y agoNot a really bad fever, and try not to treat it with anything but fluids.. remember that a fever is a more often than not a GOOD thing. its the body raising the alarm system wide. let it do its thing (to a degree, you don't want it too high for too long. obviously. Also seek medical advice from a medical practitioner)
