hlo doc, my son is 4.8 yrs old he is having cold and cough and his body temperature is 99.7 .pls suggest wht to do.

A. when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 f or more then you coxnsider 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
