Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I can understand your concern. I suggest that you continue with Tylenol and do sponging of the whole body to reduce the temperature. This should keep the temperature low and seizures should not occur. In case there is no improvement in the fever in the next 24-48 hours then review by a doctor will be better.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
