this is a difficult question to answer because you don't mention what your daughter's age is -- and it makes a big difference. if your daughter is under 3 months of age and has a fever you need to seek immediate medical attention (even though she's been seen twice in two days). high fever in a newborn always deserves intervention. if your child is between 3 months and 4 years of age a fever of up to 104f is not uncommon and may last 3-4 days. treat this in whatever manner your doctor told you. sometimes pediatricians recommend acetaminophen (tylenol) for this type of fever. if your child is over age 4 you can use webmd's " check your symptoms " tool to determine a course of action. any fever over 106f in any age person deserves immediate medical attention. at home you can apply cool compresses to the forehead and back of the neck and if given the ok by your pediatrician use acetaminophen (tylenol) to help reduce the fever. wishing you both all the best!
