Knowing when to seek medical attention can be challenging. Parents should contact a pediatrician if their child:
- Has a High Fever: Persistent or very high fevers require medical evaluation. - Shows Signs of Dehydration: Symptoms like dry mouth, no tears when crying, and decreased urine output are concerning. - Exhibits Unusual Behavior: Sudden changes in behavior, excessive sleepiness, or irritability may indicate underlying issues. - Experiences Breathing Difficulties: Any difficulty in breathing warrants immediate medical attention.
