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 thex oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then 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

A. Hello dear parent! Give paracetamol drops. Keep Babyhug medicine spoon handy to give correct dosage. Consult your doctor for a personal diagnosis and seek medical advice. Complete the course of treatment as prescribed
