A. you can give 5ml to the child when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 F 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 99 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then Paracetamol is given

A. Hi mom if temperature is high don't wait. it's good and safe to show your kid to your doctor and follow their advise. That would be the best and safest option for your baby. As doctors know exactly our baby body condition and can treat it right and immediately.
