Is It Normal For My Baby S Forehead To Be Warm After Fever Medication?
My 8 month old baby has got fever of 37.9 degrees, checked her temperature using the baby thermometer in the ear, slight cough, but she plays as normal. I had given Adol syrup a while back, and it s decreased. But her body including her forehead is quite warm

medicine for fever is symptomatic treatment , it isn't cure..
fever is body's response to protect further damage and eliminate cause..
so medicine can suppress fever and give you some relief but you can feel some warmth on forehead till your baby is sick..
it is ok..
