A member asked:

Hi. my 7 week old daughter has a fever of 38c, measured under her armpit. she has no other symptoms.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Verify/get seen: An infant at this age with any such fever should be seem as soon as possible. Germs that linger from delivery like group B strep or E.coli can hibernate & then suddenly appear to cause life threatening illness. Get moving !!!!
