A. simple digital thermometer 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. You can go for the digital one actually that is very good and easy to evaluate onto the temperature and some people use that ear thermometer as well because that is going to give you temperature within a fraction of seconds so if you want you can take that also but that’s little on the expensive side
