My baby has a temperature of 37.9 and he's sneezing about 6 times in 1 hour. Why is it and what should I do?

This sounds like a common cold. For the time being, monitor his temperature and give him Panadol (dose according to weight) every 6 hours if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. You should also get nasal saline drops and cleanse his nose by placing 2 drops in each nostril then suction with a bulb. If he develops more severe symptoms like rapid breathing with chest retractions, or if he refuses to feed or his urine output decreases, or you notice that he's sleeping more than usual or seems lethargic, he should be taken to the ER immediately. Otherwise keep an eye on his temperature: if it does not abate orppersists for more than 48 hours, take an appointment with his pediatrician to have him examined and run some tests.
