Educational use only. This is not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Always confirm with a licensed doctor.
Nasal flaring, grunting, chest retractions, or blue lips sit on the emergency end of the spectrum.
Seizure, a bulging fontanelle in a young infant, or sleepiness you cannot wake them from needs urgent care.
Cold mottled limbs, a very fast pulse with lethargy, or no urine for 8+ hours in a baby are warning signs.
A non-blanching rash that fails the glass test is urgent. A fine rash with a very unwell child—do not wait.
A sunken fontanelle often points to dehydration; a bulging fontanelle with lethargy needs urgent evaluation—both can be serious.
Follow the emergency or acute-care pathway; arrange paediatric or neurology follow-up afterward as advised.
Watch hydration closely; repeated vomiting with fever usually means earlier review.
Parent instinct counts—use tele-triage or call your clinic rather than waiting in uncertainty.
Contact your local ASHA, ANM, or primary health centre early; if your child is conscious and can swallow safely, offer fluids on the way as guided by health workers.

Danger signs around breathing, alertness, hydration, and rash matter more than the exact temperature. When any of these appear—or your gut says something is wrong—seek care without delay.
Use this checklist as a prompt for action, not a reason to wait. Your local emergency pathway and paediatrician remain the final authority.
