I have a underweight child of about three and half months and is weighing only about 4kgs and at present he is having a fever of 1degree c. wt to do?

Rapid exam: There are many reasons why babies fail to gain weight and your baby need a prompt assessment. The fever is also worrisome and may contribute to the underlying cause. I am unsure of your babies birth history but the safest route is to a children's hospital emergency room.
