Suggest Medication For High Fever (102.2)

hi, my 3 yr old daughter has had a 102.2 fever for two days, does not want to eat anything, and does not want to do anything but lay in bed. she drank some water today, but not much. I haven't called her dr. b/c normally they would say that if the fever is not 105 or more, is nothing to worry about. what should i do?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry your daughter is not well. Fever can be treated with a fever reducer, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, if the fever persists for another 24 hours, I recommend an examination by your doctor.
