Should I go to the emergency room if my 9 month old baby has a high fever?

Hello,

If your child is generally well, it is not necessary to consult immediately. In fact, for children over 6 months of age, you should consult if the fever persists for more than 72 hours or if you have a high fever (> 42 degrees Celcius) for more than 24 hours.

The site Naître et Grandir lists the times when you should consult in case of fever: -https://naitreetgrandir.com/fr/sante/naitre-grandir-sante-enfant-fievre-temperature-thermometre/#:~:text=The%20fi%C3%A8vre%20is%20not%20the%20virus%20or%20the%20bact%C3%A9rie.

We look forward to hearing from you,
