When is a baby’s fever high enough for me to call the doctor?

It is fairly unusual for young babies (under six months) to develop a high temperature, so this can be a warning sign that something is wrong. Call your doctor if your baby is: - under three months and has a temperature of 38 degrees C or more; - under six months and has a temperature of 39 degrees C or more. - if your baby’s fever is accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, rash, lethargy or skin tone changes, difficulty breathing or if he/she appeared to be in pain.

For an infant under 3 months old, a rectal temperature of 100.4F or above is cause for serious concern of infection. Go to an emergency room or doctor immediately. For babies from 3 months to 1 year old, a temperature of 100F is cause for calling a doctor for advice depending on your baby’s medical history. For children in general, temperatures between 100F and 104F may be frightening, but are probably a normal part of common illnesses.

If there temperature is above normal and your baby is lethargic and irritable then you should call the doctor first thing.

If your baby is under the age of 2 or 3 months then call doctor immediately.
