How To Reduce The Fever?
My 8 year old spent the day in the sun at a friend s pool party this past Sunday (75degree day). She was feeling very yucky and drawn afterwards and I thought it mighit have been a comination of dehydration, fresh air and active playing. She has had a low grade fever since she woke up yesterday, Monday morning. She will be accompanying her grandparents on 12 day vacation in two days. Anything I can do at home, other than a fever reducer like Tylenol and trying to push fluids or should I seek out an appointment with her pediactrician?

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Yes, Tylenol will help in reducing fever and most suggestive is viral infection in your daughter's case. Fever may be accompanied with body ache and weakness. Since, viral infection is self resolving, so you can give her tylenol and fluids.
You can consult a pediatrician if any other symptoms arise.
Hope i have answered you.
