A member asked:

16 month old has fever of 103 with no other obvious symptoms. she's behaving perfectly normally, except 4 days ago she vomited twice. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ok to wait a day...: A previously well toddler who acts "perfectly normally" but just has a 103 fever can be watched at home, on tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin, to see what happens overnight (especially since today is christmas). Sometimes the cause is roseola virus, which gives a few days of fever, followed by a rash. The child can go to the E.R. If he starts acting sickly today, and/or parents can call the doctor for advice.
