General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
First of all relax, absolutely nothing to worry.
Baby body temperature will be hot, so even if head is hot and its sweating too much, its normal nothing to worry. Only if body temperature is crosses more than 37 degree celsius then its a concern, as baby has developed fever. Fan and open window should take care.
Just relax and take care of baby well.
