As long as your son is otherwise ok, there is nothing to be concerned about. If the feeding is going well and he is in a reasonably good mood, don't worry.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, Temperature upto 98.5 is considered as normal, so beyond it is fever. It may due to viral fever or URTI. You can give antipyretic and antibiotics after consultation. Keep him hydrated, Take care.
