Hello. What is the age of the child ? By definition fever is axillary temp more than 100 degree Fahrenheit. Subjective testing by hands or touching is not fruitful. So kindly start recording the temp whenever the child feels febrile. Maintain a record of the same and consult a pediatrician if there is documented fever multiple episodes as stated by you. Age of the child is required for assessing the weight.
Hope I helped you with the query.
