At what temperature should urgent care be sought for a child aged 3-6 months?

  1. 100.4°F/38°C

  2. 101°F/38.3°C

  3. 103°F/39.4°C

  4. 104°F/40°C

The correct answer is: 101°F/38.3°C

Urgent care should be sought for a child aged 3-6 months if their temperature is at least 101°F/38.3°C. This is because infants within this age range have less developed immune systems, making them more susceptible to illnesses and infections. A temperature at or above 100.4°F/38°C is considered a fever and should be monitored closely, but does not necessarily require urgent care. Temperatures of 103°F/39.4°C and above may indicate a serious infection and should be evaluated by a doctor, while a temperature of 104°F/40°C or higher is a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention.
