Fever Care for Kids in Webster, TX
A fever is scary at 2 in the morning, but most fevers are a sign the body is fighting an infection. We look for the cause, whether that is an ear infection, strep, flu, a urinary tract infection or pneumonia, using our onsite lab and X-ray, and most families leave with a plan the same day.

What Counts as a Fever?
A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher is a fever. For babies and toddlers, a rectal temperature is the most accurate. The number matters less than how your child is acting: a child who plays and drinks once the fever comes down is usually less worrying than one who stays limp and sleepy.
Babies younger than 3 months: go to the ER
- If your baby is younger than 3 months and has a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, go to the nearest emergency room right away. Very young babies with fever need testing that is done in a hospital.
When to Bring Your Child In
Fever That Hangs On
More than 24 hours in a child under 2, or more than 3 days in a child 2 or older.
Fever Plus Pain
Fever with ear pain, a sore throat, a bad cough or a new rash.
Very High Fever
A temperature that keeps going above 104°F (40°C), even if it comes down with medicine.
Pain When Peeing
Urinary tract infections are a common hidden cause of fever in young kids. We can test urine onsite.
Not Drinking Well
Fewer wet diapers, a dry mouth or refusing fluids.
Your Gut Says So
You know your child best. If something feels off, come in.
How We Find the Cause
- A head to toe exam, including ears, throat, lungs and skin.
- Rapid flu, strep and COVID testing onsite.
- Urine testing in our CLIA-certified lab to check for a urinary tract infection.
- Blood counts when needed, run right here in the clinic.
- A chest X-ray onsite if pneumonia is a concern.
Comfort Care at Home
- Do not give fever medicine to a baby younger than 3 months before a doctor checks them. Acetaminophen is okay from 3 months and ibuprofen from 6 months. Under age 2, ask us for the right dose, and always dose by weight.
- Never give aspirin to children or teens. It is linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness.
- Offer plenty of fluids and dress your child in light layers.
- There is no need to wake a sleeping child just to give fever medicine.
Go to the ER or call 911 if your child:
- Is younger than 3 months with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher
- Has trouble breathing
- Has a stiff neck, a severe headache or seems confused
- Has a seizure
- Has purple or red spots that do not fade when you press on them
- Is very hard to wake, limp or will not stop crying
- Shows signs of dehydration, like no pee in 8 hours or no tears
- Has sickle cell disease, a weak immune system or is on chemotherapy and has any fever

Schedule AppointmentFever FAQs
What temperature is a fever in a child?
A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. For babies and toddlers, a rectal temperature is the most accurate reading.
When should I worry about my child's fever?
Any fever in a baby younger than 3 months needs the ER right away. For older kids, come in if the fever lasts more than 24 hours under age 2 or more than 3 days at age 2 and up, keeps going above 104°F, or comes with pain, a rash or poor drinking.
Do you see babies with a fever?
Yes, for babies 3 months and older. Babies younger than 3 months with a fever should go straight to an emergency room for hospital testing.
Will my child need blood work?
Not usually. Most fevers can be explained by an exam and a quick test. We only order lab work or an X-ray when the result will change your child's care.
Do you take my insurance?
Yes. PediSTAT Urgent Care is in network with TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana and Curative. We do not accept Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare or Community Health Choice. Paying yourself? Our transparent self-pay prices are listed on our Prices page.
