How Can Fever Be Treated?
My 8 year old daughter has a 101.7* temp Aux. that has increased a bit since last yesterday afternoon. Tylenol isn t touching her fever. She has hot red cheeks and a nasty cough. She has been prescribed tamiflu, has had 2 doses. She has vomited twice. Should she been seen in the office by our physician as sheseems to be worsening, or is this pretty typical?
