Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. yes
the normal temperature of the body of the child is in between 97.5 to 98.5 f (armpit temperature)
after 98.5 to 100 degree fahrenheit it is considered as mild fever but dofes not require any treatment except sponging.
when it is 100 or more in the armpit then only you have to consider it as fever and give paracetamol
