Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Please consult a paediatrician at the earliest possible. A baby of that age with fever should be examined completely and investigated for the cause of fever depending on the examination findings.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
