[QUOTE="Josie, post: 127252, member: 1792"] My younger daughter had a fever of up to 105 a few years ago. I took her in and they tested for strep and it was negative so they didn't give her anything. Finally, on day 7, they gave her antibiotics and the fever went down. I took her in multiple times over the week. I had always heard fevers of 105 meant you needed to go to the hospital, but they said that wasn't the case unless you were overheated from the sun or something like that. (I am still bothered by this answer, but thought I would pass it along. It was a doctor who told me this.) I gaver her motrin and Tylenol alternating every 3 hours but her temp. was still pretty high during that time. I think that if you are giving motrin every 4 hours, that might be more than is recommended. Just something to look into. I hope he gets better soon. [/QUOTE]
