Baby’s body very warm but no fever

Question

Hi mummies, if your baby’s body, esp back and neck is on the warmer side or heaty, but temp shows not fever, do you still use kool fever and sponge them ? My baby is recovering from fever, his body is on off heaty esp the neck, however temp shows not fever, like 37.1 or so. So im not sure if its still fever or notHow long does fever usually subside for babies below 6m

At 37.1°C its technically not a fever yet, so Kool Fever patches and sponging are not really necessary at that point, though I understand the worry when the neck and back still feel warm to the touch. Since your baby is below 6 months and just recovering, Id say its worth calling or visiting the PD just to get a proper check, because very young babies can change quite quickly and the doctor can also advise you on what temperature range to watch out for going forward.
