What to do if someday at night, you found out that your baby has fever? The other day, during our baby full moon, we thought baby had fever and didnt know what to do. A regular clinic near our place are not paediatrics specialist. Should we send baby to hospital? The doctors in hospital wont be in at 12:00am at night, right?

I dont want to send to a regular GP clinic, neither do we have any 24 hours paediatrics near where we live. If baby is sick (any sick, not just fever), what do we do? I know see doctor but where?

All,

Thanks for the feedback.

Doctor said get a thermometer and use it under armpit or the ear type is ok too. It will never work under tongue. Anything above 37.5 celcius is fever but whether to give med or not is optional. Anything above 38 celcius is serious and should be given paracetamol.

My paediatric advice to go to hospital direct even if it's late at night and give him a call on his personal mobile whenever required. We can rest at ease like this.

Yes we have infra red forehead and ear thermometer standby with paracetamol syrup at home now. We didnt have them previously so was worried.
