A. the first medicine will always be paracetamol and it is given according to weight and power of paracetamol medicine you are having. give liquids and easily digestible food and paracetamol should be given only after food. keep the child in cxool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fever to body sponge to decrease the surface temperature and should be carried out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. higher medicines (ibugesic / meftal-p) whether required or not will be told by the doctor.

A. Normally the temperature returns in 5 to 6 hours in the usual course but if it is breaking slowly will see the temperature is coming again the time is going to increase maybe 8 to 10 hours or so so this is an indication that slowly the temperature is reducing down
