Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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.

Without proper physical examination, it is not possible to understand the underlying symptoms causing the fever in your baby. Get your child personally examined by the paediatrician and seek further advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene and follow your doctors advise diligently
