When To Seek Care Immediately
Whatever your baby's age, seek medical care without waiting for: a fever of 38 °C or above in a baby under 3 months, a persistent fever above 39 °C at any age, laboured or rapid noisy breathing, blue lips or face, difficulty waking or marked lethargy, inconsolable persistent crying, complete refusal to feed, repeated projectile vomiting, bloody stools, fewer than 6 wet nappies a day, seizure-like movements, or the loss of a skill already gained. In these situations reach real medical care rather than an app or a web search.
