Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
This is very common in this age group. You can give the tylenol every four hours. If the fever goes up before 4 hours, you can give him a dose of motrin. If the fever persists beyond 2 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
