Hi You should be giving Calpol or paracetamol to the child whatever is easily available to you as of now because both the medicines are completely safe to be given to the child so whatever is practically available to you or if you were given any medicine to the child previously then you should just go ahead with giving the same medicine to the child for fever also you can do cold sponging if required
