A. Fever is the response of the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is called as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment this dose can be again repeated after every 5 - 6 hours if again required and you can also do cold sponging of the body to reduce fever in between the doses ,but if it continues even thereafter you should consult your doctor for proper treatment. if the temperature is not controlled by paracetamol alone, meftal p can be given in between as a single dose but only under medical gduuidance.these medicines will also work to relieve any pain or body ache. but in case of infection in which the fever is associated with other problems also it is recommended to get the clinical assessment done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.

A. Hello mom If your baby is having fever from last 24 hours even after giving a proper medication then in such case you should definitely consider with your doctor about it because doctor can only advise you will after examining baby and having some blood test. Till the time just continue giving a medication as advised by your doctor
