A member asked:

My daughter is a 10 month old baby. she has a fever (temp 40) and vomiting. she has rapid shallow breathing?

Expected: Fever rises the rate of breathing by 5 or more bpm for every centigrade degree. Any 10 month old with that degree of fever should be evaluated.

Fever: Agree with Dr. Ferguson, A temp of 104.0 °F (40 °C) needs to be medically assessed.
