Does My Daughter's Very High Temperature And Sore Throat Need Immediate Medical Attention?

My daughter, 7 yrs, had a fever that got up to 104.4 on Monday night which we brought down to 101.0 2 times that night. On Tuesday night was 100.0 - 102.0. Today the fever was between 97.1 and is now 102.1. This started with a sore throat and is now a persistant cough and a lot of mucus-blowing nose a lot. She only wants to eat fruit and had some noodle soup and crackers. Her appetite is little. I'm giving her Motrin and Tylenol for fever and Robitussin Cough medicine.

I'm becoming very concerned and want to know if I should take her into an urgent care facility now or just try to keep her temp. down tonight and take her into the doctors tomorrow. It's been now 3 days of temps. that worries me.

Hello,

Yes definitely, your baby needs doctors consultation, it is not an emergency as it appearing acute respiratory infection (ARI), continue to keep her temperature down, continue anticold and anticoagulant medication. Still have a close watch on her respiratory pattern, oral intake and urine output.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
