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 6 hours again if required in a proper dose . Alternative medicine can also be tried dif required like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold sponfdging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .

A. A reading of 98.6° F (37° C) is just the average rectal temp. A normal low can be 96.8° F (36° C) in the morning. It can change to a high of 100.3° F (37.9° C) late in the day. This is a normal range. even in the infrared 98.6 is a normal temperature not to worry
