I was told that if your child has a fever of 104 for 4 consecutive hours while using fever reducer medication (tylenol/motrin) and the meds are not bringing it down then you should take them to the er. My 6 yr old has a fever of 103.6 and the meds reduce it. Just keep your child loaded with fluids so they don't get dehydrated. More then likely he has a viral infection and there's nothing their going to be able to do. If he becomes lethargic and unresponsive take him asap, other than that he should be fine. Fevers can lady up to 5 days. If it lasts any longer take him to your pediatrition. If its driving you crazy, I get frantic about fevers as well, dont hesitate to call your pediatrition. Good luck. I always give my son powerade zeros.
You should take the child to see a doctor as soon as you possibly can.

103 is considered a high fever in a 12 year old. Except if the child has flu symptoms along with the fever of 102, if that is the case, call the doctor when the fever reaches 102. You should also call the doctor sooner than 103 if your child has had seizures in the past.
If your baby is experiencing severe congestion that is making it difficult for them to breathe, or if they have a high fever along with the congestion, it is important to take them to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to the health of your baby.
When their behavior is not normal, they are always crying.then you should realize that your baby is not right, and then you have to concern with a child specialist. When a child acts lethargic, will not take food, or has a fever.
