A. hi mom. check the temperature frequently. if the oral temperature is more than 100 degree fahrenheit, and axillary more than 99 degree fahrenheit, and rectal more than 100.5 degree fahrenheit, it can be said as fever. just give the baby with enough amount of breast milk, keep the baby hydrated. use simple thin cotton clothes. you can sponge the head and the body with normal tap water,if the fever is high. you can give paracetamol syrup or drops according to the instructions from the doctor
