Firstly , temperature should be checked with a thermometer to know if she is running fever . Generally the forehead remains warm in babies due to high metabolic rate . So just feeling of warmth may not be sufficient to say she has fever . If temperature is more than 100 F she should be given Paracetamol . Dosage will depend on her weight which is not mentioned
