\r\n When should you take your child to the pediatrician?\r\n <\/h1>\r\n\r\n

\r\n This is one of the most frequently asked questions by families, especially during the first few years. In this article, we explain the main warning signs that indicate when a pediatrician's appointment is necessary.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

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

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
