My baby girl is 3 months old. Yesterday her body temperature was 100 and I gave her paracetamol. Later in the evening she was ok. Now her body temperature is 97.9, but when we touch her, her body seems to be heat and she is sweating a lot. She is also quite dull and has not pooped since yesterday evening. I am bit worried, can you please help me

A. that is quite normal finding when the child is having fever and infection but it will become totally normal in next 2 or 3 days and you have to give paracetamol only when the armpit temperature is 100 or more
