What to do when a baby has a fever?

Answer 1

You can often tell just by placing your hand on the child's forehead. Or take its temperature with an underarm thermometer (underarm measurements are usually one or two degrees low, so add a degree or two).

A baby does not have a fever unless its temperature is above 100 degrees F / 37.7 degrees C in the morning or over 101 degrees F / 38.2 degrees C in the evening.

If the baby is less than 6 months, then call the doctor. If there is nothing else wrong with the child it probably will recover by itself. Fever is a sign that the body is fighting some illness.
