A member asked:

My one year old has had a fever of 40.1 celcius(100.4 farenheit) for an hour. should we take him to the emergency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fever: Sn er visit is not necesary. First you want to make your baby as comfortable as possible. Make sure the baby is well hydrated, and if the fever surpasses 101f, you can give a dose of infant acetaminophen. If you are unable to control the fever this way, i recommend consulting with your doctor.
