hi thanks for writing to us
body temperature depends upon the where in the body the measurement is made, the time of day, the activity level of the person.
rectal temperatures are slightly higher than oral temperatures
maintain a temperature chart at a interval of 4 hours for a day
if it is more than 38 degrees and if you are symptomatic contact doctor immediately
keep a watch on babys movements
if less or you have any doubt with out hesistaion contact the doctor immediately
