I don't take anything unless I'm pretty miserable or if it's getting to 102 or higher. I will take tylenol before bed so I can sleep. Even when my kids were young, once they were outside the baby and young toddler years, I didn't medicate them for fevers under 101 or so unless they were miserable. Just set them up on the couch with pillows and blankets and let them watch cartoons and eat ice pops and soup and drink root beer or ginger ale. I think the fever helps your body fight the illness and I don't like suppressing that.
