A member asked:
When does a 1 1/2 year old need to go to the doctor for a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: Fever is a sign of infection and children have frequent viral infections especially during cold and flu season. If the child's activity and appetite are normal and there are no other symptoms such as rash, vomiting, diarrhea, stiff neck or severe pain you can treat fever for 3 to 4 days with anti fever medications and increased fluids. The child should be seen if fever lasts longer than this.
