At what degree shouldd i take my daughter to the hospitol by?

NO NUMBER: More important: how is she acting? --is she lethargic ( weak, limp) (sign of serious infection) --is she short of breath? (sign of pneumonia) --is she in pain (sign of appendicitis ...) --is she vomiting (getting dehydrated) these are what we are looking for not the height of a fever a lethargic child with a 101 temp is more serious than a child still playing with 103 temp.

Depends on behavior: Fevers to 103 are not uncommon in children and are not dangerous if a child otherwise looks well. That is if their color is normal, they are alert, and they are drinking. However, any child with a fever who is very lethargic, has poor color, is not drinking should be seen quickly. Rules are different for infants under 4 months old, if they have a fever of over 101 rectally, they need to be seen.

Depends on age, sxs: If your child is under a month of age, she should be seen right away for 100.4 degree temp or higher. For older children, it is more important to watch the symptoms she has regardless of the height of the fever. If she is having labored breathing, seems excessivel irritable and conspirator, or unusuallynlethargic, or having signs of dehydration that is more urgent than the absolute temperature.
