BABY IS HOT AND A LITTLE BIT SICK

This morning, my wife woke me up early because our baby was crying. It happens all the time and I was not much attentive to her call. Around 5:50 am, I noticed that my wife was carrying our baby. I got up and asked what was the problem. She told me that baby was hot and she believed that something is wrong. I immediately got the digital thermometer and checked the temperature. It recorded at 37.9C. This high temperature means that baby is sick or has a fever. I remembered that the doctor said that, in excess of 37.5C would means baby is sick and must be admitted immediately. My wife is currently breastfeeding our baby and she has a slight fever. In my guess, baby might have got the high temperature from my wife. We already administered giving baby tempra drops because it is best to fight fever. Being a first time parents is very hard without guidance.
Before I left the house, baby's temperature was already 37.4C and has lowered from the previous temp check. I am praying that baby will be okay. I am far right now and I cannot chek on myt baby personally. I am rellying on the information that my wife gives me on my baby.
