What Causes Fever In Baby?
my baby has a fever ranging between 99-102 degrees F, around 102 I give acetaminophen/motrin (alternating; he has needed 2 doses today and 3 yesterday). The fever started yesterday around 4:30 and was managed as noted with last medication at 3 am this morning. He had no fever from 4 am until around 4 pm again today.

Hi,
The main cause of fever in childhood is viral infection. Fever is a sign not a disease. If there are anything that makes you concern about your baby I suggest goes to a pediatrician.
