Fever in 2 month 1 week old baby
My baby is 2 months 1 week old. She has fever like symptoms. Her head is warm lightly, temperature is ranging between 98.9-99.3. Body is normal. She seems feeling uneasy, not interested in drinking milk and sleeping and crying more. We had given her pediatric paracetamol drops but fever coming back. Please provide remediation.

your history tells us that the child is suffering from viral fever and in viral fever you have to give only symptomatic treatment that is for fever have to give paracetamol(max 4 times per day if needed) and plenty of water to drink and at least 60 to 70% of the regular diet and if the fever continues beyond 3 days then meet the doctor
please do body sponge that is body wiping to decrease the body temperature with wet cotton cloth.
