Hi,

If finger tips are blushing, you have to be careful about breathing pattern, if breathing is fine than you should keep your baby warm, It can be because of cold. Secondly 99.5 F is low grade fever, your doctor has prescribed the right medicine. Just make sure you are giving it in right dose as per body weight which is 10mg per kg. That means if your baby is 10kg than his dose will be 100mg. And you can repeat the dose after every 06 hours. Wishing you baby a healthy life.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
