Depends on how long they have had the temp. If its been off and on then wait til the morning. Just alternate between childrens Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours. If its been on consistently for 24 hours or more then go to the ER ASAP.

It’s ok to call your dr now if you’re worried. That’s their job.

One of my kids has gone past 104.. it’s terrifying I know. Just try to keep him comfy until you can get reassurance and advice from his doctor.

Urgent care or ER. Some strains of the flu this year are not worth waiting on.
