No cold no cough nothing, only feels very hot i mean very warmer than normal.
Can i put paracetamol drops?
My doc had prescribed it and aksed to have it handy when needed as now due to corona cant
know if doctors see for all these matters.
Thank you

Can better check with digital thermometer if baby allows. Usually babies will be fussy and very uncomfortable if they have temperature
Next Steps
consult online if fever persists

Babies at age do get fever unless vaccinated or if they contact infection and they are always warm to touch.
Check temperature in the armpit , if more than 99.4 deg F , then it is fever.
Next Steps
Your baby doesn’t have fever, feed every 2 hrly and also on demand.
Health Tips
If baby is active, feeding well no worries.
