103.6 F temp

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am 16yrs. and running a temp of 103.6. I've taken all the OTC drugs to reduce it and nothing's worked. My mom called the Mds office and the nurse said that it was not a serious temperature. What do you think, my mom says it is but the doctors nurse says it isn't. What would you do w\your child if in this situation? ER?

Nope, I haven't had the vaccination. Like dawn said it's a fairly new vaccine. I've had these before but it wasn't a bad case, but this time it's really bad, and the flu is on top of it !

I've had Chicken Pox twice also- once at about age 5 and once at age 35. I didn't feel very sick as an adult having them; but the dang Pox kept spreading for a long time so I was isolated for longer than normal. Not fun. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, etc.

(Good thing your avitor has a face mask, LOL!)
