Suggest Treatment For Fever In Child
Our two year old son (2 1/2) has a fever of 101.7 under the armpit. Do we need to get him in to the hospital? His eyes appear very watery and glossy in kind of a sad staring transe. Crying alot and just needing to be held constantly (Not that we don t like that.

Hello. I just read through your question.
There is no news to go to the ER for fever. It is most likely that he has a viral illness. Typically the fever will last 2-3 days, then resolve on its own. Do whatever is necessary to make him comfortable. However, if the fever persists beyond 2-3 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
