Is it normal to get fever 99-100 reading in armpit during cough and cold for toddler and fever will last for a day or two even three. Fever will come and go in these days

Hi, When we take fever in armpit then we have to take it one degree up. So, when it is 100 in armpit then it is close to 101 degrees. I think, we should not immediately start giving medicines to the baby and let the immune system fight it, which doesn't mean at all that we should not seek doctor's advice. But sometimes, we get general fever because of cough and cold and using some home remedies, the fever goes as soon as cough becomes fine. So, I think after one or two days if you see improvement it is fine else you should consult the paediatrician.

Yes, it is normal. Though, when we get a fever it is our body's way of telling us that there is some infection in the body. And when you say cough and cold, then in this case you know that fever has come because of cold and cough. It is also an infection in the body and the fever will go as soon as the problem is addressed. Sometimes, the cough and cold becomes fine as it takes two three days and body's immune system fight it out. And if it doesn't become fine on its own then you must visit a doctor.

when a person gets cough and cold it often means there are some germs inside the body that are causing the reaction. while a slight fever is normal, you should get in touch with the pediatrician if fever reaches 100. the doctor will prescribe a mild medication that will keep the fever in check. if you are sure the fever goes away in 2 3 days, maybe you can skip it, but not if this is a regular phenomenon.

With fever syrup, use wet cloth on forehead of children.it helps 2 reduce high fever.

No it's not safe to wait for a day if a baby's temperature is 100...

yes...its on higher side...but before that try to sponge him with ice water...

to lower the temp.
