Please! I need advice! My 5 year daughter is sick she just started kindergarten this year and has had a few minor colds in the months since. She has had this lingering cough for weeks it will get better for a couple days and come back but no fever with it and as energetic as ever.

The last couple days Saturday evening to be exact, she got a fever of 103.0 I gave her ibuprofen she fell asleep and her fever went away. My husband got her up for school this morning, she got a bath, got dressed, told me she felt OK, that she wanted to go to school. She didn't have a fever, so I told her OK. She managed to get through the whole day but when she got home she looked very flushed so I took her temp and it was 103.2. I gave her more ibuprofen, put her in bed with a cold rag and ice water that was about 4:00. I monitored her temp. And it only had went down to 102.9 it stayed there till about 7:00 so I gave her just plain Tylenol at about 7:30 and her fever has gone up to 103.5. I can't get it down. What do I do, when do I know when its time for the ER? Does anyone know an ask a nurse line? I'm very worried!! :

Does your pediatrician have an after hours telephone service?
