I’m panicking. Travis’s fever is up to 102 right now. He just threw up. I didn’t even know he was sick until I picked him up at school and he was super hot and so I took his temp there and it was 101.7. He was acting completely fine. Now he just woke up and it’s 102! And thats with under the arm thermometer. I don’t know what to do! We gave him Tylenol and he’s laying down with me
I would not take my 2 year old to the hospital for a 102° fever if he’s acting normal. Fevers can run high in kids & a good indicator of whether it’s something serious is how they are acting. If he’s acting normally just give him some meds (alternate Tylenol and ibuprofen), give him lots of fluids, and continue to monitor his temp. Since he’s throwing up make sure to watch for dehydration. Pedialyte can help keep him hydrated.
If it goes above 103° then call the doctor even if he’s acting normal. Also call if he’s unable to keep fluids down. Sounds like a stomach bug! Hope he feels better soon.
Give him a bath and pop sicles and keep monitoring his fever to make sure it goes down I hope he feels better !!
