Common questions
When is a child’s fever an emergency?
Come in immediately for any fever in a baby under three months, a fit, fast or difficult breathing, drowsiness, a rash that does not fade on pressing, or signs of dehydration.
Why might a newborn need the NICU?
Common reasons include prematurity, low birth weight, breathing difficulty, jaundice needing treatment, or infection.
Can I stay with my child?
Parents are encouraged to stay involved; ward staff will explain visiting arrangements.
