A. hi,generally fever last long for 3 to 5 days. keep temperature checking 6 hourly..n continue with pcm drops. Fevers higher than 104° F. should be attended to immediately. Dress your child lightly. Use a sheet instead of a blanket to cover her in bed. Breastfeed or give your baby formula often to maintain hydration of body.

A. Add about two tablespoons of ginger powder and a few slices of raw ginger to a bucket of warm water to give a refreshing bath to the ailing child. If you are worried about how to reduce fever in child naturally, the ginger bath will do the trick.
