98F is normal. Fever needs treatment only above 100F. You can do Sponging with lukewarm water if temp is above 99F. Don't worry if forehead feels little hot. You must measure the temperature.

Hello, It's normal upto 99. No need for paracetamol drops. If crosses more than 100, then give paracetamol drops and consult your doctor or online consultation. Take care. Follow my Instagram for details health Q&A. #tiwarichildclinic 🙏Tiwari child clinic Delhi🙏
