[|Human|] I have a six year old child who has seasonal allergies.. Have been giving him Claritin... But all of a sudden today is not well and has a fever of 102.3... Complaining of head ache and very tired ....I am going to give him an Advil ...should I be very alarmed? Does a fever accompany what I think are allergies? I was like this when I was a child , so this is why I am thinking it s just allergies getting worse..please let me know
[|AI|]  Hello. I just read through your question. Though allergy is probably a big component of what is going on, the 102.3 fever indicates it's not the only component. This is too high a fever to attribute to allergy alone. The most likely diagnosis is a harmless viral illness that will ultimately pass on its own. However, if the fever lasts more than 2-3 days, it could indicate a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics. In this case, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
