I have a 6-month-old baby who has had a fever since early evening and is congested. Should I consult a doctor?

If your baby has had a fever for only a few hours and is congested, it is generally recommended to wait at least 2 days before consulting a doctor. In the meantime, you can try reducing the amount of mucus in their nose by using a nasal hygiene technique. By doing this technique several times a day, you can greatly reduce the chances of needing to see a doctor and also help relieve your baby's discomfort.
