What is a Fever?

A fever is when the body temperature reaches 38°C or above for a sustained period.

Seek medical attention as well if your baby presents any of these sign alongside a fever:

How to Check for a Fever without a Thermometer

How to Check for a Fever without a Thermometer

touch forehead
Gently place your hand on your baby's forehead. If it feels unusually warm or hot, it might indicate a fever.
baby hand
Gently pinch your baby's skin on their tummy or hand, then release. If the skin takes longer than usual to return to its original position or appears to be "doughy," it could suggest a fever.
baby flushed cheeks
Look at your baby's face, particularly their cheeks. If they appear redder than usual or feel warm to the touch, it could be a sign of a fever.
baby irritable
Observe your baby's behavior for signs of irritability, fussiness, or excessive crying. A fever can make babies uncomfortable, leading to changes in their temperament.
baby urine
Check your baby's diaper for any unusual changes in the color, odor, or frequency of urine. If their urine is darker than usual, it might be a sign of dehydration, which can accompany a fever.
