Specializes in General Practice

Children and Fever: First, in this situation, for a five year old, you have time to try to bring down a temperature with childrens tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen or advil. Second, you also have time to call or page your child's doctor to see if they want to do anything today or if they recommend going to the er. Second, the best answer to your question is that it all depends on how sick the child is with their fever.
