How high is the fever and what have you been doing for it?

Between l00 and 102... I know that's not very high but I have been giving both tylenol and advil alternating every three hours and its not cooling down

Motrin in pediatrics is preferred over Advil. Otherwise you are doing the right thing. As a nurse, I don't feel the hospital is necessary as long as you can get her into the doctor's office today.

Thank You very much... she had a seizure due to a fever when she was younger so I always freak out when she gets a fever.
