A. Fever is reaction in the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is considered as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment this 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 fever in between the doses ,but if it continues even thereafter you should consult your doctor for proper treatment. if the temperature is not controlled by paracetamol alone meftal p can be given in between as a single dose but only under medical guidance.these medcguicines will also work to relieve any pain or body ache to a good extent. but in case of infection in which the fever is associated with other problems also it is recommended to get the clinical assessment done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.

A. I Believe if your child’s mouth is full of salt is having its teeth also which is why the fever is happening in sincere child is too uncomfortable which is why your child is not interested in eating anything try to give more of liquids to the child which are healthy to be given at this time soups you can give coconut water you can give and buttermilk you can yoto give more of water-based products to the child
