Brief Answer:
varies ith activity ,fever,etc

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,




Do you mean to say that he is 110. And pulse rate is 98!!



How much you are sure of the same? Discrepancy between the two??

I'm asking this because pulse is difficult go count and usually heart rateis monitored with steth in small kids.


4 months old baby will usually have a hr and. Pulse rate of 120 - 140 per minute and while sleeping the rate may go down to 110 pm.


Always correlate the heart rate to activity, presence of fever, thyroid status,etc.


God bless
