Here are some common signs:
<ul>
<li>If the baby is not going for a long call and the abdomen swells and even vomits.</li>
<li>If you see blood in the baby’s stool</li>
<li>Feeding difficulties. If the baby usually feeds well and suddenly starts to refuse to feed, it could mean something is wrong.</li>
<li>Convulsions</li>
<li>If the temperature is too high or too low. It’s a sign of illness.</li>
<li>If the baby is not breathing normally or has breathing difficulties</li>
</ul>
Other signs include observing dullness in playful children or if the top of the head that moves up and down begins to swell.
The cases above should send you running to the doctor.
