    My 1 year old has rectal temp of 101.9
    Should I take her in to the Er now or wait till the dr office opens in the morning. I've given her tylenol and it hasn't gone down

    I agree with the answer above from Rachelrang - Medical help NOW !

    For general information see NHS UK website from which the following should be helpful :-

    What's a normal temperature?
    A normal temperature is around 37C (98.6F), although it depends on:
    The person
    Their age
    What they've been doing
    The time of day
    Which part of the body you take the temperature from.

    A fever (high temperature) is a temperature of 38C (100.4F) or over.
    However, in children under five, a fever is a temperature of over 37.5C (99.5F).

    What is a fever (high temperature) in children?
    It depends on the child's age:
    In children under five, a fever (high temperature) is a temperature over 37.5C (99.5F)
    In children five and over, a fever is a temperature of 38C (100.4F) or over

    Thank you, I called the hospital and they suggested more tylenol and water first to attempt to get it down first
