Illness: Being outdoors in the heat is not why your 21/2 yr old has fever. It is likely starting an illness. Call your doctor or have him seen. Not an emergency.

Fever: Does the child have any symptoms of ear/nose/throat/respiratory infection? Is (s)he sweating, or hot & dry? If hot & dry & no signs of illness, cool down with luke warm/cool bath; give children's advil (ibuprofen) (dose according to weight & age) & cool fluids to prevent dehydration. If temp doesn't fall or continues to rise, wrap in cold, wet towels/sheets & take to er.
