Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. 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 preparations.
cold sponging of the whole body with tap water can bet beneficial thoo to bring the temperature down .
AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi mom
Give paracetamol to ur baby if the fever is 99.5F or above. Repeat the dose after four five hours if fever comes again.
Viral fever can take around 3-5 days to subside.
Take care and all the best
