Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. yes
when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 f (37.7 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity .
of the dchild and if it is 99 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.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. 99° or more than 99°F is considered fever only so I would say as of now your child is definitely having mild fever so you should go ahead with giving Calpol or any other paracetamol that you have available at home right now
