While fever is a common symptom, certain situations warrant medical attention:
Infants under 3 months old with a rectal temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. Children with a fever lasting more than three days. Fevers accompanied by severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, or seizures. Children with underlying medical conditions that might complicate the fever.
In such cases, consult a healthcare provider promptly.
