More Info Is Needed: Neither child's age nor how temperature taken is given. Both are crucial info needed to answer your question. Management of fever is determined by a child's age. Body temperature is adjusted based on site taken, eg. oral, axillary, rectal. In general fever is a rectal temp of 100.4 deg or greater, However if your baby is irritable, feeding less, less active, has signs of illness, see a doctor NOW
