It depends on the age of the person with a temp. If it is an infant 0-3 months then a rectal temp over 100.2 needs medical attention. Rectal temps of 102.0 in babies is need for a call to the pediatrician. Otherwise, it's not always wise to reduce a fever since it's a natural occurence used by our body to fight viral and bacterial happenings. If this fever persists for 3 days, then see a doctor. Otherwise, it's not too high, just uncomfortable --- as always bedrest and fluids are essential! It depends on the age of the person with a temp.
