when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 f (37.7 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 99 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.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. 99° fahrenheit is the Base fever like beginning of the fever that’s about it so don’t worry about it as of now you can go with basic fever medicine to the child and gradually the fever fever strikes back when you can repeat the dosage after six hours again otherwise if needed then you consult your doctor.Write Your Answer Here
