fever is harmless. nothing to worry about if fever is the only symptom. this is just the child's natural way of fighting off an infection (usually a virus). however if there are other signs of an ear infection for instance you would need to see a medical provider so the child can be properly examined diagnosed and treated if necessary. if the child is uncomfortable it's okay to give the proper dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen. treat the child. not necessarily this mild fever. i am guessing but i suspect this is your first child.
