Good evening,
Please don't give Paracetamol drops before 100f,
Consult your doctor, if baby is not active or feeding not properly.
Take care.

Fever is temperature more than 99.5. There is no need to give paracetamol drops at 98.8 temperature. If there are other queries you can opt for online consultation with me. Thank you
