oot for life -“And a Dr in the NYC area told me that it was normal for him to be seeing temps of 103+ this week. So keep an eye on your kids if they start to act out of sorts. These are very high fevers that need to be addressed.”

I don’t know if you meant to imply that 103 is a high fever or not, but Fyi 103 is Not a high fever in kids.

But don’t believe me because some people here claim I’m not a medical professional only they are because they took an EMT course which makes them as smart as a doctor, PA or NP.

“I heard in DC they broke a record two weeks in a row for kids admitted to the ER.”

Oh, btw, you aren’t “admitted to the ER”; the ER/ED is the place where they decide whether to admit you to the hospital. You might have known this, but I just wanted to clarify it.
