jmameeMom of a 4 yr 5 m old girl4 years agoA. hi I was also worried about the warm head of my give months old daughter. discussed with my pediatrician, the baby's head is hot or warmer than the rest of the body due to the underdeveloped thermoregulation system. thermoregulation is nothing but how or body regulates it's temperature evenly. now the babies tend to lose heat from the head and that can be because the outside climate is hot, or may be due to too many clothes etc.
this will rectify by itself when they grow old. It would be advisable to check with your pediatrician if you sense any other symptoms of fever or uneasiness.
Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Fever occur as reaction in the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is considered as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment this dose can be again repeated after every 5 to 6 hours if again required and you can also do cold sponging of the body to reduce fever in between the doses ,but if it continues further you should consult your doctor for proper treatment. if the temperature is not controlled by paracetamol alone meftal p can be given in between as a single dose but only under medical guidance.these medicines will also work to relieve any pain or body ache to a good extent. but in case of infection in which the fever is associated with obther problems also it is recommended to get the clinical assessment done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.
