Doubt this?: Either the thermometer is wrong or the med did work. The thing to note is how is the child doing.? The child should be taken to the pediatrician to make sure there is nothing that needs treated. The point is treat the child and not the temp only. I suspect the child will be fine. Still needs to see the doc
