Treatment for Kids and Babies
📞 Call your doctor right away if your baby is less than two months old and has a fever; has a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher lasting more than three days; has labored breathing, including wheezing, fast breathing or shortness of breath; is dehydrated (e.g., has fewer wet diapers) along with not eating or drinking; and/or feels constant ear pain.
🏥 Visit the emergency department if your baby is less than 28 days old with a fever of 100.4 degrees or more; has severe difficulty breathing; is showing significant changes in their mental state like decreased activity and alertness; and/or cheeks, lips, tongue and inside of mouth appear bluish, indicating your child may have low oxygen.
👶🏾 If your baby is sick, be sure they get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. If your baby is breastfeeding, continue to nurse frequently. For formula-fed babies, offer formula as usual. If your baby is over six months old, you can offer small sips of water.
❗ Watch for signs of dehydration like a dry or sticky mouth, little to no tears when crying, fewer than six wet diapers per day or a sunken soft spot on the baby’s head. If you spot any of these signs, call your doctor.
💦 Use a cool-mist humidifier in your baby’s room to help ease congestion and make breathing more comfortable. Make sure to clean the humidifier frequently to prevent mold from forming.
✔ If the baby’s nose is blocked with mucus, put a few drops of saline (salt water) into their nose and then gently suction the mucus out with a bulb syringe.
