Specializes in Palliative Care

Borderline: Typically neonates are considered below one month and they must be brought in for fever to find a source of infection. Your son is beyond this period. You should give him an age appropriate dose of tylenol to reduce his fever and avoid dehydration Signs of needing medical attention urgently are lack of wet diapers, lack of tears when crying, not taking anything either formula or breast, lethargy.
