of the child and if it is 99 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl3 years agoA. You should just take the value as such because of the digital thermometers are mostly going to show you the actuator temperature only so there is no need of adding any 1° of that it is completely going to be the same as it is mentioning into the thermo meterWrite Your Answer Here
