Hi my baby is 8 weeks old and feverish i think he's coming down with the flu and he has a bad cough can i bring him straight to u or do i need to go to my gp 1st?

Check temperature: If the kid has fever at or over 38C, go immediately to a center capable of a full evaluation & testing. At that age they can develop a delayed disease caused by germs acquired during birth, which can be fatal. If a lower temperature, call or go see your doc.
