For babies less than 1.5 months, what is considered as fever temperature when taken under armpit. Some consider adding 1° to the actual displayed, however our baby temperature averages at 98.8-98.9(actual).

when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given. along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

Your child has a fever if the armpit temp is above 100.0° F . Adding 1 F to armpit temperature is not recommended.
