After your child's cleft palate repair: When to call
Call 911 anytime you think your child may need emergency care. For example, call if:
- You cannot wake your child up.
- Your child coughs up blood.
- Your child has severe trouble breathing.
Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if:
- Your child has pain that does not seem to get better after you give him or her pain medicine.
- Your child has a fever over 100.4°F.
- Your child is bleeding from the nose or mouth.
- Your child is not eating or drinking.
- Your child has signs of needing more fluids. These signs include sunken eyes with few tears, a dry mouth with little or no spit, and little or no urine for 6 hours.
Watch closely for changes in your child's health, and be sure to contact your doctor if your child has any problems.
