[jkljkl1500]

My girl is a month and a half, i just took her temperature and its 101.1F .
I gave her some medicine, hopefully it helps. BUT what is the temperature that i need to worry about. Like what is the max before heading to the hospital or something. Or what are the signs i should worry about ?

I would definitely take her to a doctor. Especially since she is so young. It's very concerning for her to have a fever.

As a general rule, the younger your child, the sooner you will need to get him checked out. Here's when the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends you contact your child's doctor:

• Under 3 months: Any fever of 100.4°F or higher, even if he shows no other symptoms of illness. If the fever develops after office hours or on a weekend, go to the emergency room. Young babies have a limited ability to fight illness because their immune system isn't fully developed. Young babies can’t tell you if they are really sick and there are some serious bacterial infections that they are more prone to, like kidney infections, blood stream, and pneumonia.

Best wishes hun keep me posted
