A rectal temperature between 99 and 100 degrees is a low-grade fever, and usually does not need a doctor's care. Fever in newborns may be due to: InfectionFever is a normal response to infection in adults, but only about half of newborns with an infection have a fever.Your child has a fever if he or she: Has a rectal, ear or temporal artery temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher. Has an oral temperature of 100 F (37.8 C) or higher. Has an armpit temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) or higher.Fevers that last fewer than five days. If your child's behavior is relatively normal, you don't need to be concerned if they continue to be playful and they're eating and drinking normally. (Although, they may seem more tired than usual).Your baby is 2 to 3 months old and has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher, or a temperature lower than 97 degrees.Your baby is 3 to 6 months old and has a temperature of 102 degrees or higher.
