My husband has started running fever. I called the doctor last night and he told me to have a blood count done today.

I am worried a little because we have had a sick child in the house. I have kept them apart, I wash my hands constantly, etc. But I am not sure that is enough.

The doctor said that I was to let them know if the fever topped 100.5-101.0. This morning he is at 100.7. I gave him tylenol.

Any advise about how to deal with fever and when I should panic?

Thanks,
Cindy
