At 101F, we were told we should give her some children's tylenol, and give her lots of fluid.
I think she got a bug in her stomach from something she ate, gave her the diarrhea, and the vomiting, and the fever came as her body fought it off.
The sad thing is, the nurse wasn't allowed to treat it, and a doctor could've determined what it was in about 5 minutes and issued a prescription or something to help make her feel better.
When my daughter was sick it was during the H1N1 scare so I think they were telling everyone to take little ones to the ER if fever rose. Right now my daughter has a nasty cough, no other symptoms just a cough. I kept her home from preschool today cause she sounded so awful this morning.
