    Yes, please get her emergent care. While children can tolerate fevers this high better than adults can, if you have given her Tylenol and it has not gotten any better, she needs to get treatment.

    Rule of thumb that I teach all new mom's. Fever greater than 100.4 that does not resolve with Tylenol... get to the doctor/hospital.
