If he is doing well otherwise breathing fine color is good etc and the fever is the only problem them just give him Tylenol every 4 hours if the Tylenol alone doesn't work you can also give Advil/ibuprofen every 6 hours you can give them for the first 24 hours just to keep the fever down and then see how he's doing after that. If it's anything more serious than just the fever then certainly take him to the Dr.

If son has high temp, stay off the internet and go to the hospital. Temps of 103 in a young baby can cause seizures. Which can lead to death. Any time an infant runs a temp, it's time to head to the doctor. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU KNOW HE IS ALREADY SICK!

You should take him to the hospital. When they're that young you need to take them to their doctor if their temp is over 101. And since he is already on antibiotics, he really shouldn't have a fever. You never can be too careful with kids. Good luck.

With an infant with no issues, I would say, let the fever work itself out, but with the medical conditions you are talking about, I personally would risk waiting. The worst thing that could happen is they say your son is fine and they send you home. Better safe than sorry, IMO.
Good luck and blessings.

Good grief - go to the hospital or at least call an all night medical service and ask THEIR advice - not all the crazies in here!!!
