A. 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 flike ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold scponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

A. Keep a wet cloth on to the fore head of the child like how we say that you should always do Thande Paani Ki Patti in certain situations to reduce down the temperature so in this case also you just have to go ahead be doing the same only with that only gradually you will see the temperature is going to reduce don’t know the child is going to be betterWrite Your Answer Here
