Suggest Treatment For Fever Along With Blisters
10 year old got 2nd degree sun burn 1 week ago. Doctor put him on oral antibiotics and cream antibiotics after blisters popped. The blisters finally look pretty good. However tonight he started running a fever of 102. Should I take him to the Emergency room or continue to treat with ibuprofen at home?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
With a fever of above 100, it is important to consult with a pediatrician to look for any site of bacterial infection like ear, strep throat or urinary infection. So please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.
