Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheitt then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.
along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes.
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. A hot head in a 7-month-old baby, while the body temperature remains normal and the baby has a mild cold, is not necessarily a sign of fever. It could be due to several factors:
1. **Teething**: Babies often have a warm head when teething. This can sometimes be accompanied by a mild cold-like symptoms.
2. **Illness**: A mild cold can sometimes cause localized warmth in the head. It might not always result in a significant fever.
3. **Overheating**: Ensure the baby is not overdressed or in a warm environment, as this can cause the head to feel hot.
4. **Infection**: Sometimes, even a mild cold can cause a slight increase in head temperature, although it would generally be accompanied by other symptoms if it's a fever.
Monitor her overall condition, and if she develops a high fever, has persistent symptoms, or if you have any concerns, it’s best to consult with a pediatrician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance.
