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 hg 6 hours 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 whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

A. Hello dear parent! Try giving a light sponge bath to reduce the intensity of the fever. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Speak to your doctor for further advice. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug massage oil.
