Initially antipyretic likve paracetamol is given in a dose of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there sir. Please do not worry about it too much. The fever can be due to many different reasons. However it is not possible to say anything without proper examination of the baby. It is advisable to get the baby evaluated by a doctor and follow doctors advise properly.
Thanks and take care
