A. the first medicine will always be paracetamol and it is given according to weight and power of paracetamol medicine you are having. give liquids and easily digestible food and paracetamol should be given only after food. keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fevers to body sponge to decrease the surface temperature and should be carried out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. higher mediciness (ibugesic / meftal-p) whether required or not will be told by the doctor.

A. Was it important that you giving correct dosage of medicine that would be determined by the current weight of your child secondly you can do cold sponging that also helps a lot in reducing down the fever yet if you see the fever is rising rapidly not reducing you may as well get it checked with the paediatrician
