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 the oral cavity odf 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 ldight clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

A. Yes because it is said that you should add one degree to the temperature that you have taken from under arm so it would be fever in that case you can give paracetamol as of now and you can repeat it again after six hours if you need to that will help in reducing the temperature gradually
