A. Hello good evening !! Temperature below 98 degrees Fahrenheit and 36.8 celsius is normal. If you observe more than 98.5 and 37 degree Celsius then fever. If only head, stomach hot but temperature between 97-98 degrees baby is active then it's normal don't worry. Do sponging and apply Coconut oil on head, tummy sometimes due to Body heat it's show's temperature .
