I was a nurse in Japan over 20 years ago.

This is just my personal opinion
When my son had a fever,
if it was over 103 ° F and he was limp, I would give him a fever reducer.
If it was lower than that, I did not give it.
The reason for 103 ° F is that a sudden rise in temperature can cause febrile convulsions.


When the body temperature rises, viruses and bacteria in the body become less active.
The activity of the body's immune cells increases, increasing their ability to attack viruses and bacteria.
Fever is a command from the brain to raise body temperature to fight viruses and bacteria.
Children have immature body temperature regulation.
Unlike adults, they easily develop high fevers, but they protect themselves by doing so, keeping pathogens at bay.

Just ask your doctor if you have any symptoms such as not peeing, not drinking milk, or being limp.

Thank you ！ ！
min, you would have handled it without meds until 103℉. I would not want to use medicine as much as possible. In the case of my child this time, I only noticed that she was not feeling well because she was hot and lying down instead of playing, and when I asked her how she was she returned with energy. But maybe he didn't know what energetic meant. Now the fever seems to be down because his body is not hot anymore. I'll take her temperature in the morning and discuss with my family what to do about medicine, or since it's Monday, I'll also discuss with my family about calling the doctor. My mother-in-law is Japanese-American, so she thought I didn't understand English, and this time I also felt the difficulty of international marriage.
