From morning my 1.5 months old baby is running a temperature of 99.5 F, is this considered fever and paracetamol has to be given?

99.5 is the level above which we give treatment with paracetamol. So it is mild fever. Better to recheck after 1 hour rather than give treatment. More important questions - is the baby active ? Feeding ? Consult a pediatrician if fever recurs as baby is very young
