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 hourshi again if required in a proper dose . Alternative medicine can also be tried if required like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold sponging of the wghole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

A. Hello dear parent! Give a long gap if required. Consult your child’s doctor for further assistance. Serve your child healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating. Good luck and take care
