If you’re worried, you can always bring baby to see a doctor. Low grade fever is 37.6-37.9 degrees. Fever is usually above 38 degrees. For me, I would give paracetamol, and also keep feeding baby to ensure baby’s well hydrated. I would do tepid sponging (with room temp water) and also monitor baby’s activity level. If the temperature doesn’t come down or baby is lethargic/drowsy/doesn’t feed, then I’d see a doctor. And if there are very worrying signs, to A&E.
