Question
My one-week-old baby has a bit of a runny nose when crying. Is this a sign of fever? I noticed his nose is a bit runny when he cried today. Is this fever? It’s just a little bit of water-like discharge. Also, I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he cries today. What should I do about this. Previous treatment and effectiveness: In recent days, the baby has been jaundice, and the yellow color on his face is not very noticeable anymore. His eyes and mouth are still clear, but I’m looking for help: Do you think he has a fever? What should I do about his hoarse voice? At this weather, how warm should the indoor temperature be for children to never get a fever?
