What are the possible reasons my 5 days old newborn has high fever during developing jaundice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation: Any fever in a 5 day old should be evaluated at a hospital.Germs acquired in the birthing process like group b strep can quickly spread and become life threatening. Go immediately to a facility where this can be evaluated and treated.
