Try not to worry: Fevers can be uncomfortable, but they are one of the body's ways to fight illness or infection
Prevent dehydration: Make sure your child is drinking plenty of water. If they can’t or won’t, give them a frozen treat or fruit juice. For a baby, provide extra formula or breast milk throughout the day.
Keep things cool: Dress your child in light clothes, keep their room cool with a fan, or sponge bathe your child in a tub with 1 to 2 inches of lukewarm water
Keep an eye out for the following symptoms, which could indicate a problem when coupled with a fever:
Lethargy: Your child has lost his or her appetite, has little energy, or is noticeably pale or flushed, or you notice other changes in behavior or appearance
Rash: Your child has small, purple-red spots on his or her skin that don’t turn white when you press on them, or large purple blotches
Difficulty swallowing: Your child is unable to swallow and is drooling excessively
Difficulty breathing: Your child has difficulty breathing even after you clear his or her nose with a bulb syringe
Bad mood: Your child seems delirious, glassy–eyed, or extremely cranky or irritable
If you notice any of these symptoms with a fever, call your pediatrician right away. Be sure to also mention other symptoms such as a cough, ear pain, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Recent consensus guidelines from AAP for febrile infants
Evaluating young febrile infants involves a delicate balance between caution and a desire to avoid subjecting patients to unnecessary procedures. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released detailed consensus guidelines for the workup and treatment of well-appearing infants with rectal temperatures ≥ 100.4 °F.
