My baby is 6 1/2 months old, no teeth but it's working on him... he's had a fever of 38.2 for 3 days but only in the evening. Is it related?

He has no cold or flu symptoms. He drinks well, always in a good mood. During the day, his temperature is 37.4 / 37.5

a day

Hello Ma'am,
Probably not. Fever at the end of the day and sometimes a sign, at a young age, that the child has been exposed to a little too much heat during the day (e.g.: child breastfed in the first hot days of the season, in the first 6 months of life).
Is it possible that this is the case in your situation?

Here we go!
If today, with the lower room temperature, the fever doesn't occur, then I don't think we need to consult.
If instead the fever comes back, we'll consult a doctor.
