when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.
along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes.
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day d

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and as per my opinion of temperature is 99.5 then it considered as fever in babies and yes you can give baby paracetamol syrup if baby is having fever and also it is given as per baby weight and age only.
Thanks and take care
