When to See a Paediatrician: 5 Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

When to See a Paediatrician: 5 Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
  • 23/08/2025

Some parents arrive at the hospital for every sneeze. Others wait until things are much more serious. At Sunflower Multispeciality Hospital, we tell families there’s no “too small” concern when it comes to children but there are definitely signs you shouldn’t ignore.

Fever That Doesn’t Go Away

One day of fever is common. But when it lingers, or comes with unusual rashes or breathing trouble, it’s worth acting. In adults, you might think about when to visit a general physician for fever. With kids, we’d rather see them early, just to rule out anything serious.

Trouble With Feeding or Digestion

I’ve met parents who try every home remedy before coming in. Sometimes it works a few gentle massages or feeding changes can be enough for how to manage constipation in babies naturally. But if the baby still looks uncomfortable, isn’t feeding well, or starts losing weight, that’s the moment to see a paediatrician.

Changes in Growth or Behaviour

The baby growth chart from birth to 1 year isn’t just for numbers; it’s a tool to spot shifts before they become problems. If growth slows down, a milestone is missed, or the child seems unusually tired or unresponsive, it’s time to check in. These visits can make a big difference for development.

At Sunflower Multispeciality Hospital, we’d always rather reassure you than treat a late-stage problem. When in doubt, bring your child in quick action is almost always the safer choice.
