Doctor can evaluate: A teen with high fevers but trouble using antipyretics should be seen to see if antivirals or antibacterials can help resolve symptoms, to avoid more high fevers. It may be the flu, be we can't just label people as having the flu, so a diagnosis is needed. If flu, Tamiflu may help. Adult-sized teens can usually take up to the adult max of 4g Tylenol per day for 2-3 days, but ask her doctor first.

Age and cause: Her age is not indicated, but the source of her fever should be evaluated at her physician’s office. A younger child generally should be seen earlier.
