A. Fever is the illness due to reaction of the body to 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 further 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 medicines 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 proble.bs also it is recommended to get the clinical assessmentn done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.

A. Yes Definitely normal if you feel that it is really warm then you can take the temperature with a thermometer if it crosses 99° fahrenheit then it is going to be fever in that case you can give medicine to the child but little bit of higher temperature under 99° fahrenheit and sweating is completely normal
