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 . Afflternative 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 bring the temperature down .

A. hello actually please keep a check on the temperature regularly and once in 4 to 6 hours you can repeat the medication as per the doctors dosage as well as you have to keep a check on the temperature also if fever is more than hundred it is better to give the repeat the medication
