Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Fever is a response of the body to any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment thisthis dose can be again repeated after every 5 to 6 hours if again required
and you can also do cold sponging of the body to reduce feverbut if it continues further you should consult your doctor for proper treatment regarding this
