But I remember when he was an infant, they wanted to see him for anything over like 101.5 or so. So basically, I call anytime I'm just not sure if I should bring him in. The nurse usually calls back to say yes or to wait and see. </p> runsyellowlites on "When do you call the doctor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-call-the-doctor#post-852360 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:32:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 852360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only call if they need to get in, which is very rare. </p> chopsuey on "When do you call the doctor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-call-the-doctor#post-852355 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:30:27 +0000 chopsuey 852355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't call the doctor unless the kids have a high fever or something that really worries me. </p> Honeybee on "When do you call the doctor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-call-the-doctor#post-852198 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:26:24 +0000 Honeybee 852198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't call unless there's something really worrisome: fever for more than 3 days, wheezy, rash, etc.. Actually, DS just got roseola a couple Weeks ago and I didn't call at all since I knew what it was. </p> Running Elley on "When do you call the doctor?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-call-the-doctor#post-852153 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:13:31 +0000 Running Elley 852153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious- when your baby is sick at what point do you call the pedi?</p> <p>Elliot's been sick with a cold for the past week and it's pretty minor....only had a fever one day last week, runny nose but the snot is all clear, just a dry cough every once in awhile when he overexerts himself (my little walking obsessed boy won't slow down!), etc. I haven't called the doctor but it just occurred to me this morning...are you supposed to call whenever your baby is sick at all? </p>
