When does a child’s symptom cross the line from watch and wait to get help now?
A fever, a rash, breathing that looks hard work, or a child who seems floppy or hard to wake can all mean it’s time to act sooner.
For babies under 3 months, don’t wait it out. For older children, look at the whole picture, how they’re coping, how alert they are, and whether things are getting worse.
