A fever this high in a baby can be serious. If the doctor suggested hospital admission, it is best to follow that advice. Children can deteriorate quickly and early treatment in hospital helps control infection and dehydration.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION (CUE) Test
