Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. 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 child 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.
you can give paracetamol four times per day and if the temperature is less than 100 than no need to give paracetamol
RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl3 years agoA. Its Actually 99° fahrenheit only if it has reached 99° fahrenheit then also you give the fever medicine to the child because it is mostly said the moment it crosses 99 or 99° fahrenheit it is going to be counted as fever so you can give it one more message
