A fever of up to 105 is not uncommon. However, if you son is a baby of just a few months you should call your physician.
Did you try fever lowering OTC medication?

AS the text states: trust your instincts. If you feel your child is really sick, it's better to go see a doctor (or call your physician first). Better safe than sorry.

Yes, take your child to the ER. It's important to determine what is causing this fever.
