### input:
My husband and I both have bronchitis. To be on the safe side I checked my babies temp this morning, It was 100.3 (He will be 5 months old on 3/16/11) I gave him a dose of infant tylenol. I rechecked his temp 10 minutes ago and it is now at 100. If it stays at 100 or above, what should I do? How long do I wait before taking him to the E.R?

### output:

Hello! Thank you for writing! Does your baby gave other symptoms like cough, diarrhea, vomits? Hoe many days is he with high temperature? It might be only a viral cause that doesn't need antibiotics but only symptomatic treatments which mean, only temperature control. But to be sure I recommend you to see a doctor in order to do a total control, in order to rule out all the other causes. As for the temperature antipyretic, the medicament for the temperature, are given only if temperature is above 38 and is given Tylenol. Don't except temperature ti follow down within 5 minutes, so check your baby temperature after 30 minutes. Keep it with cold compressed and keep him not covered with light clothes in order for temperature to fall. You can give Tylenol only 4 times a day, so every 6 hours. If temperature rises above 39 use ibuprofen syrup. Ibuprofen is given 3 times a day only, every 8 hours. If it's a viral cause, as I said before it doesn't need antibiotics. If temperature continue more than 5 days, do a total blood count and biochemical test. Keep your baby HY Chat Doctor. I hope this will help you. Best regards.
