Call the doctor: A nine month old with 39.6c which is 103.4 is high enough that you should be concern and call the baby's doctor or medical person that is not a fever to handle alone from home.

Temp. control: Control the temperature with Ibuprofen infant drops, dose according to his weight as the chart i the Ibuprofen box shows, keep him on light clothes and d not cover him. Make sure to check with his pediatrician, because what's most important is to find the cause for the fever.
