Hi
I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. I think that 107.9 is a mistake. Kindly recheck, if same then immediately visit ER as its hyperthermia needing emergency treatment.
If the temperature is less than 102 degrees Fahrenheit, then you may continue acetaminophen or Paracetamol and repeat it after 6-8 hours if required. Usually they improve over a few days.
Take care
