Accepted Answer

Fever is  when  the temperature of the body goes above 99 degree fahrenheit and the safest medicine in such situation 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 prddeparations.
cold sponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

U Start doing cold sponging to the child if it is required because it will help in bringing down the fever in general but also I would like to tell you right now viral is too much there in the end it’s better to consult your paediatrician ones
