Depends on details: A baby or toddler with a new fever usually has some type of infection. Sometimes viruses and bacteria can cause fevers. Viral infections usually go away on their own, but bacterial infections such as of the throat, ears, or urinary bladder, need a doctor to prescribe antibiotics. A doctor may also look for some more serious conditions. Febrile babies 0-3 months old usually get thoroughly examined.
