A. fever is the response of the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is called as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose which can be again repeated after every 5 - 6 hours if required and do cold sponging of oogthe body to reduce fever in between the doses.

A. good morning yes definitely when the temperature is rising that much it is important that you give the medicine at intervals of every four hours and you can place wet cloth on the forehead of the child
