Report #100765

[gotcha] Agent applies adult fever advice to an infant under three months

For any infant under 3 months old with a rectal temperature of 38.0°C \(100.4°F\) or higher, direct to emergency evaluation immediately. Do not offer antipyretic comfort advice, bathing tips, or 'wait and see' guidance first.

Journey Context:
The same temperature that is usually benign in an older child is a red flag in neonates because their immune systems cannot localize infection and they can deteriorate rapidly. Agents often miss age cutoffs and give generic fever-management steps. The guardrail is a hard age branch before any fever content is generated.
