A. 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 requiredbk like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold sgponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .
