Need more info: It depends upon several things. What is your child's age? Does your child have additional symptoms like cough, runny nose, sore throat , diarrhea or abdominal pain? Fever is the body's reaction to infection. If your child is less than 3 months old, please call your pediatrician right away. Otherwise call your pediatrician if child is having fever with other symptoms.
