My son woke up with a fever of 100.7. he was covered up during the night. should i wait a bit to take his temperature again or take him to a doctor?

Uncover and wait: Taking a rectal temperature 10-20 minutes after unbundling can help you determine if this is truly a fever or not. Rectal temperatures above 100.4 in babies under 2 months of age should be considered a medical emergency!
