#AskTheExpert agastya having fever of 106...not getting lower... also not taking milk

A. Give pcm as per prescribed dose and at proper adviced time interval . For any fever paracetamol is fine..after giving paracetamol wait for 30mins to 1 hour...if fever does not subside you can give tepid sponging to bring down the temperature if fever ..Always use room temperature water/tap water..not cool, because shivering can actually raise your baby's temperature rather than help bring it down. The child should also be encouraged to drink fluids to replace those lost through sweating. it's preferable to visit your doctor, for further evaluation and exact treatment or management.
