Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 sthen 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 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. In fact it is opposite opposite the doctor say that you should add one degree to the temperature that you check from there so I think you should go ahead with giving paracetamol to the child as of now and then you can repeat it after six hours if needed also always prefer taking digital thermometer for temperature and put it into the mouth directly that’s the right way to take the temperature or you can use the thermometer which is digital which you put into the year of the child and you will register the temperature within some seconds
