5 yr old has a fever all day ranging from 99.9 - 103.6. tylenol (acetaminophen) helps briefly. no other symptoms except headache. should i take her to emergency?

No other symptoms ?: The average 5 yo will go thru 3-5 viral respiratory ; GI illnesses per year, some of which will generate fever of 102-104.Fever is a normal response to illness ; doesn't signal severity of a problem.If the kid is playful, taking fluids well ; has no scary complaints, the best person to evaluate the child is your regular dr. If quiet, refusing fluids, in obvious pain or showing scary sx go.
