A. If the temperature reaches 99 and above it's considered as fever. Take a wet cloth and keep it in the forehead for a while. It helps to reduce the temperature.

A. Mam I also faced this many times. I think above 98 only is considered has fever in babies. So keep monitoring. If the temperature goes high and baby is behaving cranky or looked disturbed. Give paracetamol as prescribed by your doctor earlier. Above 102 take to the hospital. Hope this helps you.
