What causes recurring temperatures in a 24-month-old preterm baby who rests his head on tiles to sleep?

[Guest]

Good Afternoon doctors. Thanks for your quick response.

My preterm  baby of 24months do have temperature like twice in a month that leads him to always put his head on tiles to sleep. He plays, eat well, but he loves drinking water , poo once a day. The temperature can start in the night and will subside before morning.

Birth week: 33weeks

Birth Weight: 2.9kg

How did you ascertain the degree of his temperature?
Did you always check by using a thermometer?

Kindly get a thermometer to check, normal body temperature ranges from 36.5 to 37.5 anything above that signifies fever. If your baby is having fever, you can give appropriate dose of paracetamol and if it doesn’t subside after three days kindly proceed to the hospital.
