Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 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 be beneficial too to bnhnring the temperature down .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. It is 99°F which means your child is having fever so yes of course you should go ahead with giving paracetamol to the child and also start being cold sponging so the temperature will start reducing along with the medicine
