A. Fever is a response of the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is called 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 medicines will also work to relieve aruuny 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. Give Calpol one able to your child you can repeat the medicine after six hours if the fever is high as of now also the fever is quite on the higher side so I would advise you to start doing cold sponging and do take an advice from your daughter of course that would be the most important thing to do
