Suggest Treatment For Consistent Fever

My 9 month old daughter had a consistent fever for the past 3 days with her highest temperature reaching 102.9. Today she developed red rings around her eyes and she has some reddness behind her ears, no rash so I m not sure if it s from rubbing. She has been sleeping a lot, about 18 hours a day. Other than that, no other symptoms, should I take her to be checked out?

Hi,

High-grade fever may not be an issue - but a 9-month-old sleeping 18 hours per day amounts to lethargy - she needs immediate medical attention, please.

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

Take care

Regards,
