Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 f (37.7 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity .
of the child and if it is 99 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.
along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes.
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day you can do body sponge and keep the child in cool atmosphere and you can continue to give plenty of fluids to the child to maintain proper hydration
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Cold sponging is the only home remedy that you can go ahead with because that actually helps in reduction of the temperature over the period so that you can do something on the entire body or for head however it is convenient to you
