A. It is not considered fever but keep monitoring temperature of the baby and if it is around 100F then give calpol drops to the baby and give more liquids and light and easily digestible foods

A. Normally if the temperature goes above 100 degrees it is a matter of concern, something ranging from 97 to 99 degrees is generally considered normal but if you feel any doubts you can always consult your pediatrician
