A. Fever is when the temperature of the body goes above 99 degree fahrenheit and the safest medicine in such situation to give us is paracetamol which can be repeated after 6 hours again if required in a proper dose . Alternative medicine can also be tried if required like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold sponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

A. Do cold Sponsoring on the entire body especially behind the knees of your child will start doing it and if the fever does not come down with that also thank you should immediately be consulting your doctor because the fever is really very high for a child to deal with it definitely needs proper medical assistance and guidance
