In this article, we explain the main warning signs that indicate when a pediatrician&#039;s appointment is necessary.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #6EC1E4; text-shadow: 1px 1px #ffffff;\">\ud83e\ude7a When should you take your child to the pediatrician for a fever?<\/h2>\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the fever persists for more than 48 hours, especially in children under 3 months of age, it is important to take the child to the pediatrician. This is also true if the temperature exceeds 39\u00b0C or is difficult to lower with antipyretics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #6EC1E4; text-shadow: 1px 1px #ffffff;\">\ud83d\ude34 Changes in behavior or decline<\/h2>\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When a child is more sleepy than usual, irritable, or has a loss of appetite for more than 24 hours, it could be a sign of an underlying problem. In these cases, consulting a pediatrician early helps detect illnesses early.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n      \ud83d\udc49 You can see more information about the <a href=\"\/en\/servicios\/\">Pediatric home consultations here<\/a>.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/katiatupediatra.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/a1a7e617-5ed1-45ed-a5be-b65bcf768e24.png\"\r\n         alt=\"Pediatra en Gran Alacant atendiendo a un ni\u00f1o con fiebre\"\r\n         style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 640px; display: block; margin: 30px auto; border-radius: 12px;\">\r\n\r\n    <h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #6EC1E4; text-shadow: 1px 1px #ffffff;\">\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f Skin rashes<\/h2>\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lesions, spots, or rashes that appear suddenly, especially if accompanied by fever, should be evaluated.
