Four signs: If your baby 1) is fretful or irritable for more than 24 hours, 2) has fever that is lasting more than 48 hours, 3) has temperature higher than 103.5 degrees rectally, or 4) screams and cannot be calmed down in 3 hours.

It depends: If you are a first-time parent, it can be challenging to interpret a child's behavior and feel comfortable that you are reading the situation correctly. Changes in behavior, persistent fussiness, persistent fever, new rash, poor eating/food refusal, persistent diarrhea or vomiting would all be concerning enough for an urgent visit. If you are not sure, call the practice and they will help you.
