Check his temperature using a thermometer.
If it is more than 99.6 f u can give paracetamol.
The dose depends on the weight of the baby.
If he is active and playful when he is not running a fever it is OK.
I can continue using paracetamol every 6 hrs.
If he develops cough, loose stools, vomiting, poor feeding u may see a doctor.
Most of these infections are because of viruses.
He will take 3 days to settle.
Conti ue giving paracetamol and monitor the baby.
If he develops any of the above mentioned symptoms we would run some blood tests on him,
