Yes, thanks. Ususally my child's tend to hover in the 99.5 range, not down to normal temp so it was just odd to me.

Motrin can last up to 8 hours. Take it again in a few hours.

Has anyone else's child had a high fever (102.3) in the morning for about an hour, and then 5 hours later---gone? Seems odd that it would be so short-lived, but I'll take it. I did give him motrin, but only once.
