That is high. I'd call an on call doc right away.
I just called their on call doctor and they told me to wait it out 24 hours. It's just so high! Especially on Tylenol. I just gave him another dose. I guess I won't be sleeping tonight.

Do you have any Motrin/ibuprofen you could give him?

Add extra feedings, he'll need the fluids. Let him snack as often as possible. I'd also maybe ask the nurses line about pedialyte if he's got a high fever AND diarrhea.
Alternate Tylenol and Advil/Motrin every 3 hours.
.....and yeah, I'd be losing sleep too, but 103 is still ok, I think it's 104 that you'd go to emerg or urgent care for.
Thank you all so much. I gave him Tylenol and Motrin and he just fell asleep on me. So now I guess I'll just lay here and hold him all night. Having a sick kid is the most stressful thing ever!
Guise, I'm starting to think the bad juju on here is contagious sometimes. Our AC is out. It was 90 today, and it's already cooled down to 70 (and my area has 0 humidity most of the time) but our condo held all the heat in all day, so I was freaking out. The nursery was 82 degrees when I was trying to put DS down, but it was the same in the rest of the house. Thankfully it's starting to cool down, but so lame. I called our landlord and they think they can fix it tomorrow. It's going to be near 90 all week, so I sure hope so.
Ugh, not having air conditioning sucks so bad! Did it cool down for you last night?

Nooooooo!!!! I feel you on this one. I hope it turned back on or you had lots of fans.
