Doctor can evaluate: If a parent is unsure when to take an infant to the doctor, she can call the doctor's office. Some doctors have their patients come in on the first couple of sick days, but it depends on the experience of the parents and on what the child is doing. Very sleepy, very fussy, or otherwise acting strangely, especially when the temperature is very high, means the doctor may want to check for infection.
