Fever in babies requires different approaches depending on age and fever degree. Generally, fever is evaluated as follows:
In babies under 3 months:
- 38°C and above — emergency, must seek ER immediately
In babies 3-6 months:
- 38°C and above — must be evaluated by pediatrician same day
In babies over 6 months:
- 37.5-38°C — observe, plenty of fluids, keep room cool
- 38-39°C — can use fever reducer as recommended by doctor if baby seems uncomfortable; consult pediatrician within 24 hours if general condition is good
- 39°C and above — should see doctor; if baby is lethargic, has rash, seizure, or breathing difficulty, seek ER
Not to forget: The fever degree matters as much as the baby's overall condition. A baby who looks well, plays, and eats with moderate fever is less concerning. But in any situation, a baby with fever should be evaluated by a doctor who can examine them.
