5. Fever
Fevers are scary but are a normal part of your immune system response. If your baby is having a seizure and a fever, call 911.
Generally, call your doctor if fever follows these guidelines
- newborn to 3 months – 100.4F
- 3-6 months – 102F
- 6-24 months – 102F for 24 hours
- Children – 102F for 72 hours
- Teens – 103F for 3 or more days
If your child has a temperature but is acting normally, don’t worry. Coughing and other symptoms warrant closer observation.
