A. the first medicine will always be paracetamol and it is given according to weight and power of paracetamol medicine you are having. give liquids and easily digestible food and paracetamol should be given only after food. keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fever to body sponge to decrease the surface temperature and should be carrxied out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. higher medicines (ibugesic / meftal-p) whether required or not will be told by the doctor.

A. If your 7-month-old baby is experiencing a fever that returns within 3-4 hours and you are unable to give R-acetamol (paracetamol), you can try the following methods to help reduce the temperature: 1. **Hydration:** Ensure the baby is well-hydrated. Offer breast milk or formula frequently. 2. **Cool Compress:** Use a cool, damp washcloth on the baby's forehead, wrists, and ankles to help lower the temperature. Avoid using very cold water. 3. **Light Clothing:** Dress the baby in light, breathable clothing and keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Avoid overdressing or using heavy blankets. 4. **Lukewarm Bath:** Give the baby a lukewarm bath to help cool down the body. Make sure the water is not too cold to avoid shivering, which can raise body temperature. 5. **Monitor:** Keep a close eye on the baby's temperature and behavior. Use a digital thermometer to monitor the fever accurately. 6. **Comfort:** Keep the baby comfortable and ensure they get enough rest. If the fever persists, is very high, or the baby shows other symptoms like difficulty breathing, persistent crying, or lethargy, seek medical attention immediately. Fever in young infants can be serious and may require professional medical evaluation.
