Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My daughter is a month and a half. Her two month appointment for her shots is due very soon. But, she had been coughing a little and sneezing since about two days ago. She felt a little warm today and I took her underarm temperature and it was 99.2. I am a first-time mother. Should I take her to the doctor?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please note that babies below the age of 6 months have a cough and cold occasionally. It is normal as long as the child is able to feed well. Regarding the feeling of warmth, the baby's head is always warmer than the rest of the body and a temperature of 99.2 F is not considered as fever. Fever is when the temperature is above 100 F. So, do not worry. You can take the child for the shots as long as the temperature is below 100 F.
