At which temperature do we need to take a toddler to hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why temperature ?: The temperature is often not a good indicator of the seriousness of any problem. I would rather a toddler that won't eat, play or interact with me with no fever come in than the same with a 39 that will. Your gut response to an overall status of any kid should drive that decision rather than a simple number. Without a review of the other factors it has little value.
