Question

My 6 month old daughter is on her 3rd day with a fever that plays between 38.8 and 39.9 with times when the fever drops. Yes, it's been more than 72 hours and I was wondering if we should go to the emergency room or if we could wait to have an appointment with our doctor tomorrow.

Good morning, ma'am, If your child has had a fever for 72 hours, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Is this the case? Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification! It is usually recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible if your child has a fever for 72 hours. This being written, if her general condition is good and she is feeding and an RV is available the next day, we can wait a day given the context of the care system. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
