ExpertDr. Arva BhavnagarwalaPaediatrician5 years agoA. Hi. Head in small babies is slightly warmer than normal, because they have an increased blood supply in the developing brain. So nothing to worry. Armpit temperature more than 99.5 F, is fever. Not below that.

shruti mangla gandhiMom of a 9 yr 2 m old boy5 years agoA. hello, no degree to be added. and for such a small baby it isn't fever. the point is their body is not able to regulate the temperature yet so body parts like head, armpit, palms are hotter. the body temperature should be checked
