Treat fever now: Treat high fever in children with febrile seizures aggressively. Use Ibuprofen & Acetaminophen & tepid baths. Acetaminophen suppositories are useful if your child is vomiting. Fever is usually due to viral illnesses but the higher the temperature (& 104f is high) the greater the likelihood of a bacterial infection or serious illness. This one sounds like pneumonia. Get immediate md or er help now.
