A. Fever is commonly seen in babies and mostly it's viral infection which is very common in children. But if fever is high grade and persisting or assosiated with specific symptoms than other causes should also be ruled out . Antipyretic like paracetamol or ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are usually given to reduce fever . Colgd sponghing with lukewarm water is also helpful . Doctor consultation should be done if symptoms like excessive irritability dullness loss of appetite less urine output is there .

A. Hello dear parent! You can definitely put wet cloth to reduce the discomfort. Maintain a good personal hygiene. Complete the course of medication as prescribed by your doctor. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating.
