Question : hi,
I just checked the temperature of my 4.5 months old baby.
from the armpit, he measured 100.7 using the adult thermometer.
is this cause for worry? do I need to take him to the doc? should I give him crocin drops?

Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Occasionally, due to over-clothing the temperature of a baby may rise. All you need to do is to keep the baby exposed and the temperature would come down. I do not think that you need to worry. If the temperature still remains raised, you would need to give Crocin Drops. If the activity level of the child comes down you would need to take him to a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.
