Suggest Remedy For High Fever With Headache In 3 Year Old
My almost 3 year old woke this morning (6 am) with a 102 temp. We gave him tylenol and it helped him until about 1 pm today. He ate some cereal this morning. We gave him some more tylenol around 1:30 which helped until about 7 pm. He ate this afternoon some yogurt and applesauce and half a banana. Now we gave him some more tylenol at 7:30. He s running 103 temp. The temp is by ear. He is very irritable talking about his head hurting. He got irritable each time after the tylenol wore off. He s taking naps off and on. Do we need to get him to a doctor?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sure, you should visit to doctor as there might be some serious infection that causes fever. It depends on severity and duration. If child is not comfortable, excessively crying, irritable, and there are recurrent episodes of fever, you should visit to a doctor, as he may be prone for infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
