My daughter is almost 8 months and has a fever 102.3 (rectally takin) she is teething and busting a tooth (her 4th) as we speak but this is her first fever should I take her in or what do y'all think? I took her temp around 4 and it was 101.6 then around 6 it was 102.4 then gave her Tylenol and took it again about 7:15 it was 102.2 then gave her a luke warm bath and it was 102.3 after and she hasn't been eating as much as normal and is a bit more fussy then normal

    Personally I would try Tylenol and Motrin rotating before I took her in. Tylenol just isn't very effective in some babies. If it didn't go down then, I would make an appointment with the ped tomorrow. Hope she feels better!

    Yep, i would try motrin too. I hope ur little one feels better SOON.

    However, I would keep checking it regularly as well! If it gets up to 104 or above, take her to the ER :(

    Her temp went down to 100.4 and they said she has a virus that causes sores in the back of her mouth.. and she had only ate 3ozs today but we just got home and she's eating a bottle now and has almost finished it.. so getting better slowly
