What should you do if a 1-month-old baby has a fever?

A fever in a 1-month-old baby (38°C or higher, measured under the arm or ear) is always an emergency. Do not attempt any treatment at home, do not over- or under-dress your baby — you must go to the emergency room immediately — you can call 112 or visit the nearest hospital's emergency department.
At this age, the immune system is still very weak, so fever may be the only sign of a serious infection. Giving fever-reducing medication at home, giving a lukewarm bath, or waiting is never the right approach. The emergency room is the safest place for your baby.
