I'm really worried about my little one. He had pneumonia when he was just 9 months old, and since then he keeps getting sick every few weeks, like every 23 weeks or so. Now he's got a fever and cold, and he's coughing with wheezing again. Is there a pattern here, or something we should be doing differently? This keeps happening, and I feel like I'm missing something important. Would love your advice on what steps to take next.

It hasn't changed at all, and I'm not sure what I should do or if I should be more concerned. What could be causing this persistent fever, and should I be bringing him in to see someone?

7-month-old baby's head feeling hot with a temperature of 100C for two days can be concerning. However, it's essential to note that a baby's head can feel hotter than the rest of their body due to their underdeveloped thermoregulation system . Since your baby's temperature is slightly elevated, it's crucial to monitor their overall health.
