Mgt: Influenza is a possible cause, and please see your PCP. I would also suggest ruling pneumonia. In the meantime, please keep them well hydrated, rested and monitor their fever. Tylenol may be given for fever > 101. 5 F.

4 days: is a long time for fever this high and your child should be seen by a physician to identify the source of the fever. It could be something like influenza which, in young children, can be accompanied by pneumonia and become serious. Please make an appointment with your child's physician as soon as possible.
