Fever by age
Child temperature & fever guide
Enter your child's temperature and age to see what it means and when to call the doctor. How your child looks and acts matters more than the number.
Call 911 if your child has trouble breathing, turns blue, is very hard to wake, has a seizure, or has a stiff neck or a rash that doesn't fade when pressed.
