When To Call the Doctor

For very small children (preschool age and younger), call your pediatrician with any high-grade fever (over 102.5° F). Call also if you are concerned about dehydration (a decrease in urine, lethargy, a sticky mouth, no tears when crying are some of the signs) or if your child is having trouble breathing or looks seriously ill. If you are worried, an earlier call to your doctor will at least put him/her on notice about what is going on and to the fact that you may need to come in.
