When should you visit the PD / hospital when 6-month old baby has a fever? My angel has been running a 38-38.5 degree fever for a few hours now. I have sponged her, fed her milk and used a kool fever patch. I have paracetamol for baby at home (from her vaccination). Should I give her that?

If fever persists for 5 days or more than bring her to Pd. For fever below 38.5 can give paracetamol (2.5ml) every 4-6 hours. Max 4 dose a day. For fever at 39, use ibuprofen. For fever above 40. Take her to hospital immediately. You can also sponge her with room temperature water and Ensure she is getting plenty of liquids. Mill, water or barley water is good for her. Kool fever patch is a waste of time. Don't bother
