My baby is 8 nd a half month. His body temperature is arnd 100 F. Actually last night we started using fan and I think this fever is bcz of this. He was also not wearing sweater. But was in blanket. We are trying to give him paracetamol but the moment he sees he starts vomiting. What should I do? We will take him to doctor tomorrow morning but till then what should I do?

Hi keep checking the temperature evey 3 hours and note it down in a paper, this will help when you take the baby to the doctor. 99.5 plus is fever, give paracetamol. If the fever keeps coming please consult paed.

hello shalvi<br> if its 100 , its normal temperature.. <br> no need to give paracetamol..101 or afterwards you have to start giving fever drops..<br> also, starting fan can not be the reason of fever..dont worry. keep continue breastfeeding.. put wet cloth on forehead..
