[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 127267, member: 2423"] My kids have had fevers of 105 and never been sent to the hospital (although they have most definitely been checked by their pediatrician). My understanding is that the child is hospitalized for a fever of 106 or if a high fever is present for more than a week or a lower fever is present for more than two weeks. FWIW, Motrin and Advil are the same medication (Ibuprofen). If you are alternating medications every 3 hours, it should be with Ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) and with Tylenol because they are different medications. I think when kids get to be about age 12, they are dosed as adults and can take Advil/Motrin every 4 hours the way adults do (children typically take Advil/Motrin every 6 hours). [/QUOTE]
