A. 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 fahrenheitd 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. But only if the palm is hot as the body is normal we cannot conclude it as fever but still if the palm is constantly hot then it would be more sensible for you to talk to your doctor regarding this whatever is meant to be done the Dr advisor please go ahead with consulting your doctor once
