Such diurnal variations in temperature are normal.There is nothing to worry about.And since the fever responded to treatment, unwarranted tests are not required either.

Slight fluctuations in temperature are normal. Those can be ignored. If baby is otherwise active and well, there is no need for blood tests.

Review with your doctor if baby gets fever again.
