5 week old baby with temperature of 38 degrees. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it seen: The general rule on infants under 6-8 wks is any fever at 38c or above should be seen immediately. That is the timeframe when germs picked up during delivery can trigger significant illness. Go now.
