"My 3-year-old has had a fever (40.5 to 41) for the past 16 hours, but no other symptoms. What should I do?"

It is recommended to take your child's temperature rectally at least once to accurately determine their current fever level. At this age, it is advisable to wait for three consecutive days of fever before consulting a doctor, especially during cold and flu season. Allow your child to rest, avoid overdressing them, and continue alternating between Advil and Tylenol every three hours. If the fever persists tomorrow, it would be best to consult a doctor.
