A member asked:
My 5 year old was diagnosed and treated for scarlet fever 2 weeks ago and finished his antibiotics friday...now running a low grade fever, concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other symptoms?: A fever is oral temperature over 100.4F. Anything over that's is concerning for an infection. If it's under that number, it is within normal range of temperature. If he has a temp over 100.4F AND other symptoms (sore throat, ear pain, cough, etc), it would be advised to see his pediatrician. Make sure to take his temperature before giving him Children's Motrin or Tylenol (acetaminophen).
