Any temperature of 38c or higher is considered a high temperature.

From CHEO (children's hospital of Eastern Ontario):

Call your doctor or go to the Emergency Department if your child:
• is three months old or younger, and has a fever (temperature higher than 38°C)
• is less than three months old and has had diarrhea for more than two days (48 hours)
• has a fever for more than two days (temperature higher than 38°C)
• has bloody or black stools (poop)
• vomits blood or green bile
• has diarrhea for more than ten days
• has abdominal pain that won't go away or is getting worse
• shows signs of dehydration (less than four wet diapers in 24 hours, dry mouth and tongue, sunken eyes or a sunken soft spot on the head, no tears when crying, grayish skin, very sleepy and hard to wake up)

I used tylenol and his temp seems to come down
He slept through the night after 4am
Have to check his temp once he’s awake

37.4 is not a fever, if it reaches 38 you can give Tylenol.
