ExpertDr. Swapnil SaxenaAyurvedic Physician8 years agoA. hi no it's normal only axillary temperature below 99 degrees Fahrenheit is not fever. in case of fever give paracetamol drops in prescribed dose as per baby weight. Babies have immature soft skin, and little body fat . This makes it get and lose heat pretty quickly. babies have undeveloped thermoregulatory system so make them wear warm wollen in winters and a layer more than what you wear. Keep a comfortable room temperature Keep room well ventilated. Maintain proper hydration.
