Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Mr XXXXXXX
It's quite common for babies to have mild fever . It is usually viral and self limiting. If the following criteria are fulfilled there is no cause for concern
1. Baby accepting breast feeding well
2. Temperature not above 101 °F
3. Sleeps well after feeds
4. Respiration is normal
5. Urine output is adequate
6. No rash
7 . No excessive crying while passing urine
Continue giving Paracetamol at dosage of 15 mg per kg body weight per dose 6th hourly. Keep the baby warm and continue exclusive breast feeding
Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.
Take care
Best regards
