102: Remember that a fever is one of the ways the body kills the bacteria or virus. Too high a fever can result in seizures and other problems so if fever goes to 102 or above and does not come down with Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen a doctor would be seen. If the fever is not high but the child is lethargic and not drinking, see doctor too.

Depends: Fever in & of itself not an indication when to see a md. The nature of illness, the way child acts, is child eating & drinking, is child vomiting or diarrhea, is rash, is heaadache, is child listless, what is specific compaint other than fever, has child responded to fever meds? These r all things 2 consider. U can call? Use judgement? If in doubt, see md. Low & b sick, hi & b well.
