A. given as per weight of the child 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

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and it is always advisable to give baby fever medication as per baby weight and age. Better to consult your doctor in person and if it is not possible then give baby 2.5 ml in a gap of six hours if fever remain. Take care
