No need 2: Fever is the bodies way of fighting viral and or bacterial disease, it is a symptom of underlying process.. Only need 2 worry about a high fever it in of itself is good and helping in fighting disease. If it gets above 104 then bring it down a little. Best is aspirin, but many prefer tylenol (acetaminophen).
