Be careful too that she's not bundled up too much. Babies have a hard time regulating their temps so too much clothes and blankets can make them a little hot like that

@boutinmm thank you I got her fever to go down yesterday after I gave her tylenol. I talk to a nurse yesterday and she told me what to do. I am making a dr appt tomorrow morning though to make sure she's 100% okay since she was still coughing a bit today.

Under one year my doctor says call with any temp over 100! Under arm readings are not accurate. It's anywhere from .5 to 1 degree off. So your baby is probably nearing 101. I would definitely call your on call pediatrician! Good luck mama!

Thanks ladies I will check her temperature rectally if I feel her warm again. I checked this morning and it was 98 degrees and I can definitely tell she's way happier today. My love bug is feeling better (:

If it's just a regular digital thermometer with the little metal tip you can use it rectally just put a little Vaseline on it first. Just insert the tip. Then just buy a new one to use for your mouth/arms.

Make sure you add a degree under the arm!!! Rectal temperature is more accurate. I would call the doctor if it is over 101.0. Give her Tylenol and a cool bath will help too. Dress her lightly. My LO was sick last week and he just hung out in a onsie all day. Lots of fluids too.

Vicks makes a thermometer and it'll light up green if the temperature is ok and yellow for low grade and red for high. It can be used rectal to. I think I got it for 7 bucks.

No prob, let us know how she's doing :) glad she's getting some good snuggles

@proudmama thank you! She's resting on me right now

@crm I don't have a rectal thermometer though

I would take her temperature rectally to get a more accurate reading and if it's still that high I would call her doctor. My daughters doctor has always told me that he wants to see her for anything 100.4 or higher. I hope she's better soon!

I'm a ftm but they say to just watch low fevers and make sure they don't last over a day or too or get higher...hope it goes down and ur LO is good!
