Normal temp (taken orally) is considered 37.4, and of course normal varies on how the temperature was taken, but 38.7 is a bit high.

[Island_Pagan]

[Island_Pagan]

38.9c eeek

Tylenol should start to work soon. I alternate between Tylenol and Advil with a bad fever. Other then that keep just her cool and hydrated and watch for any lethargia.

Hope she's feeling better soon.

strip her down to underwear/diaper and tepid bath, cool cloths--not cold

if you have a fan, you can put a bunch of ice in a bowl, and put the fan behind it to blow cool air over her

When our daughter was in the hospital they routinely gave fever medication when it reached 38.5- especially if it looked like it was spiking
