A. 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 nasal saline drops can be given again and again to the child because it is salt water which will help in decreasing the nasal blockage by clearing the mucus try to prevent temperature variationsd around the child which is the most common cause of cough and cold in small children.can give indirect steam inhalation . anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation. for fever and dpain give paracetamol continue the regular diet which is being given to the child
