See Your Doctor Now: In general, illness in a very young infant can be difficult to recognize as their responses are mostly non-specific symptoms such as irritability/fussiness, poor feeding, lethargy. Additionally, duration of exposure, baby's symptoms and other important details are not given. A thorough evaluation is needed to ensure your baby has no adverse effects from excess heat exposure.
