Call your pediatrician or go to the emergency room immediately if your infant experiences a severe allergic reaction. Signs include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, hives, or a rapid heartbeat. Don’t delay; act quickly.
Seek immediate medical help if your baby develops a rash accompanied by fever higher than 102°F (39°C) or persistent vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms could indicate a serious infection.
Other Urgent Symptoms
Contact your doctor right away if you observe any of these symptoms: seizures, unusual bleeding, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or changes in your baby’s alertness or behavior. These require immediate evaluation.
