Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. 2 minutes
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.
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Basically for a 32nd time or so because that is how you are going to register the temperature till the time the temperature is in register you cannot take it off and thermometer take a longer time than usual so it’s better to use the digital thermometer as you reading very very fast
