A. it would be if prescribed. . just feed well. wear comfortable clothing. do sponging with water at normal temperature, not too cold. it helps in taking temperature down. do not give medications without prescriptions. consult your doctor in case of persistent fever, poor oral intake, excessively sleepy child.

A. Yes, it is. In fever, you should give plenty of liquids to the baby, in infants keep feeding the baby and after six months give other liquids as well. Give light and easily digestible foods. Give paracetamol drops dose according to the weight of the baby. Repeat the fuse after six hours. Check pee count of the baby, it should be more then six times. If fever remains fir more than 3 days then consult your paediatrician
