Azraels fever is 101.7 rectally nurse told me 105 is when to worry

105 rectally?! That suggests l doctors crazy lol that's to high to me but I don't know I'm not a doctor. What is it under the arm?

104 is emergency room. Anything higher than that can cause brain damage. They probably said that because rectally can be up to 1 degree higher than their actual temp

@haleyjordan825, 99.8

Your supposed to add a degree under the arm

Same thing happened to me! A few months back, I brought my daughter in when her fever was 102.0 and the doctor said, "105° is when you really need to worry / bring her in."

I was shocked. I remember growing up knowing that 103° was when you should go to the doctor!

About three weeks later she was sick again, and we went to Urgent Care. They also said that 104°/105° was when I should bring her in.

I followed up with our pediatrician, and he confirmed they were right. Weird. I guess times have changed.

@jennatess, @haleyjordan825, ok thank you ladies I'm not worried I just want him to be comfortable as possible for now until it breaks and goes away I know it's cause of his shots
