A. 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 gixven. along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

A. Yes it is fever as temperature on any body part if it shows 99°F whether it is Arpit or it is it is into the mouth or any anywhere else from wherever you are taking it’s always going to be fever this case I would recommend you to start giving paracetamol to the child
