Pediatrician,  's  Response
hello sir/madam,
I am highly considerable about your complaints, but the temperature range that you have mentioned does not fit into the category of fever. If he is playing normally and temperature is not crossing 101 degree ,you do not need to give any drugs for fever. Also , in case of fever, it is better to give only paracetamol rather than combination of ibuprufen and paracetamol. Watch for worrying signs like not playing well, excessive crying, not feeding well, breathlessness etc. In any of these conditions, do contact your pediatrician immediately. Thank you
