A. can wait for total 3 days 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 given. along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

A. If the fever does not subside totally by completing the time of 72 hours when you are giving medicine with a gap of every six hours then you can consult consult your doctor if the fever subside completely within the time of maximum 72 hours then there is no need to consult the doctor
