My daughter seems sick who can help me?

Call your pediatrician.

I agree, you really should give her doctor a call. they can tell you what to do and if they think she should be seen or not. I hope she is ok.

take no chances and call the nearest children doctor

First, is she way over dressed? You might be surprised how many parents over dress a baby – meaning to do the right thing, but the baby is uncomfortable. Have you checked her temp? The on call doctor will, more than likely, ask the baby’s temp.

However, if you cannot get her to calm down, with a baby, it is best to place the call.

Is she feeding, at all? Notice any change in her diapers? (bowel movements/urination?) These are questions you may be asked.

Good luck! Hope she feels better, soon. :)

What are you still doing HERE? Call the Pediatrician. Now!

Call a doctor or take the baby to the emergency room now.

Google is not your doctor. ER now.

Have you taken her temperature?

The temperature is important. Check it and if she is hot, call the doctor. They may well tell you to put her in a warm bath to get the fever down. But call you doc and get some professional advice.

I hope by now you have made a call into your daughter’s doctor. Fevers can be extremely dangerous in an infant and you should now play around with it.

I do second what Cak said about over dressing a baby though.

Good luck and please let us know what happens.

I’ve called him and he said that as long as she’s eating she should be fine but my doctor is an odd one though….the thermometer I have is broken I am going to buy one asap

Listen to your instincts. Doctors are not always right.

First of all, no household with kids should be without a decent thermometer. This will be an issue for years and years (i.e. does my daughter have a fever?), and so, I suggest you invest in a good thermometer that you feel comfortable using. My wife and I bought a digital ear thermometer because they are fast, accurate (assuming you use it right) and easy to use on infants and toddlers alike. Rectal thermometers are the most accurate, but lots of people are squeamish about that, and, it can be tricky to be sure you have obtained an accurate measurement. The reason I say this is that I have been surprised how many times I was convinced my now 2.5 year old son had a fever by touch, only to find that I was wrong (by taking his temperature).

That said, you really shouldn’t take any chances with the health of a 3 month old baby. A fussy baby with a temperature could have any number of things, ranging from a simple cold to diarrhea to an ear infection to a urinary tract infection to pneumonia to meningitis. In addition, infections in infants can spread quickly, going from mild to severe in a matter of hours. If she has a high fever and is fussy, take her in for evaluation ASAP. Also, you really should trust your maternal instincts. If you sense something is wrong, then it probably is.

In general, reassuring signs include normal eating/drinking, a normal number of wet/poopy diapers, continued interaction with you and vigorous crying. More concerning signs would be loud coughing, difficulty breathing, new rash, sleepiness, difficult to arouse, poor appetite, and lack of crying.

Finally, there is a lot to be said for the reassurance of a thorough medical evaluation by a pediatrician. You will worry and fret until she gets better, but a reassuring examination will help you feel more relaxed about her health. I hope she (and you) feel better and get some sleep.

How is she today?

She’s better. It was kind of odd yesterday because she never cries like that

@adri027 – I’m glad to hear she’s doing better! :)

Glad to hear it.

Max gets a little fussy with every growth spurt, she might be due. Also, it’s a bit early (it does happen though) but it could be teeth? He heats up everytime he gets upset.
