Fever in infant

Hi mommies! My son just went for his monthly jab. He has fever 39.3. Must we go to kkh once if his temp rises to 40? I’m so worried. We just gave him milk. His usual feed is 120 ml every 3 hrs but we reduced it to 90 ml as he cannot finish his last 2 feeds. Right nw he left 50 ml. He drank 40 ml only.

Fever if 37.5 and above - give paracetamol (there's a limit of taking paracetamol. only in 24hrs, every 6 hours) if fever persistence, pls go to see doctor -- U can ask the nurses from polyclinic as well If hit 38c, u must send ur baby to hospital. This is advice given from polyclinic that i always used to go. If u re worried, u can bring ur baby to polyclinic and maybe they can write a recommendation letter to hospital. If u go private hospital, its easier. E.g : mount alvernia
