[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.   At 101, I could go either way with medicating or not depending on how child is acting.  I would trust nanny judgement here.  Nanny has never called during day to clear anything, in over 6 months.  I'm annoyed bc I feel giving a kid medication is serious and I think nanny, or anyone else, should check with parent first.  I just don't know if I'm over reacting.  I wasn't home when nanny left today so I want to see what others think before I address this with her.  In past I talked to nanny that DD is on X medication for health problem and then had surgery, etc...  This was a few months back.  Also, at one point I said unless emergency and need to call 911, I want her to call me for any medical problems.   [/quote]

With a fever at 101, I would call MB (or DB if there is one) to ask, BUT if I couldn't get a hold of them, I would medicate. I don't mess around with fevers and anything 101+ needs medication. It's a fever reducer, not a cough/cold medication. A child could make due without cough medicine (even if feeling miserable) for a few hours, but you should never not try to reduce a fever.[/quote]
