Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. A fever often means that a body is working the way it should and fighting off infection.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-You can give child-formula acetaminophen (Tylenol).
-Bath or sponge the child with lukewarm water may help bring down the temperature. Do not use cold water, ice baths, or alcohol.
-Do not give aspirin to a child under 18 years of age because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a dangerous brain disease.
Call your pediatrician if the fever don't stop after giving Tylenol.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
