Should you worry about a temperature of 101.3 in 10 month old baby?

Answer 1

Yes. Any abnormal temperature in a baby (even 10 months old) deserves worry. At 101.3 a baby aspirin may take care of it, but you need to watch the child closely. Something is causing that fever and it may or may not subside with an aspirin. If finances are an extreme problem, you could give the child a cool (not cold or ice) bath if the aspirin doesn't work (or in addition to the aspirin) but watch the child closely and you may have to take it to the hosp. or emergency room if it doesn't come down and stay down. You can worry about the money end of it later. Hospitals will take small payments, so long as you keep them coming. Good luck!

Answer 2

You should most definitely be concerned. If your temperature has peaked to over 100, then most likely, something is wrong. Whether you have a cold or flu, you should consult a doctor. Any temperature above 104 is life-threatening. This seems to be close to this. Also can an eye on your symtoms, as this could clue you in to what sickness you may have. I would say call a doctor and see what instructions he/she gives you.

Answer 3

Yes, especially if this is a child. Call your pediatrician right away.

Answer 4

No, 1 tablet of regular Tylenol should bring it down. But try to take only one tablet at each dose because it can damage your liver.
