Recurring temperature
My daughter is 48 days old and she is having temperature of 99 and sometimes 99.2f when measured under armpi. It's is like this when she is 7 days old. I delivered her at 38 weeks. We asked pediatrician they it was ok as my baby is active and taking breastfeed. But she is unable/ struggling to sleep when the temperature is 98.5f above. And we missed NST. Is it worry as any other underlying cause. Please suggest are there any further diagnosis/ tests required to rule out.

As she is active and growing well, this temperature is not likely due to illness. So nothing to worry about. Inability to sleep is commonly due to colic. The sleep cycle is not yet established at this age. So sleep times are very variable. No tests are needed if she is growing well. Visit your pediatrician regularly.
