Decide timing by age, how long the fever has lasted, and associated symptoms—not by temperature alone. Same-day clinic visits and emergency care have different triggers.
Phone advice can help for milder cases in older children, but infants and any child with red flags need hands-on assessment. When unsure, call your paediatrician.
