When to take tylenol for fever?
My daughter, 5 years old, just developed a fever of 100.5°F. She seems a bit tired. Should I give her Tylenol right away or wait to see if it goes higher? I don't want to over-medicate.

Dude, if it's just a mild fever, like 99-100F, I usually just drink water and rest. But if it goes up to 101-102 and I'm feeling really crappy, then it's Tylenol time. Always check the dosage on the packet though, don't just guess!
For a little fever, sometimes just rest and warm liquids work, ho na? But if it's above 101°F or if you're really uncomfortable and aching, then taking Tylenol can help bring it down. Just make sure to read the instructions carefully.
I just had a fever last week! My doctor said to take Tylenol if it goes above 100.4°F (38°C) and you're feeling unwell, like body aches or headache. But stick to the recommended dose and don't take it too frequently.
My doctor advised that Tylenol (acetaminophen) is generally safe for reducing fever and pain. For adults, take it when your fever is 100.4°F (38°C) or higher and causing discomfort. It's crucial not to exceed the maximum daily dose mentioned on the packaging, usually 4000 mg in 24 hours.

In our days, we used to just put wet cloths, but now Tylenol is common. If your fever is making you feel very weak or giving you a headache, then take it. But don't take it if the fever is mild and you are feeling okay. Rest is very important.
