Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A fever of 107.8 degree farenheit is abnormally high for a child and can cause serious problems. Please rush to the ER and get this evaluated. Either the fever medicine dose is not enough or he has some serious infection, viral/bacterial.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
