Should you take your 7 yr old to hospital if fever is 104?

Yes, call your health care professional as soon as possible for instructions or get an exam at an urgent care center. Do not give the child aspirin, you can give children's strength Tylenol to bring it down if they are not allergic to it and are otherwise healthy. Be sure they are drinking plenty to replace lost fluids as long as they are having no problems with nausea and vomiting.
