A member asked:
Is a temperature of 37.9 in a 4month old baby normal . what can i give if its high and when do i take him to the doctor . ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes-normal: Mild temperature elevations in a 4 mo can be monitored without treatment. Fever is the bodies natural response during illness that increases circulation (pulse) to move natural healing factors around. If the baby seems uncomfortable with fever acetaminophen is the OTC treatment of choice.
