Hi.

Thanks for reaching out to HCM.

Most young children develop a fever because of various reasons. Most doctors and pediatricians suggest warm water sponging to help reduce the fever. This can help to bring down the fever.

Along with this, taking anti-fever medication as suggestion by the child's pedatrician would be a good idea as well.

It would be a good idea to watch out for seizures as well and to get the child checked out in case any seizure or fainting episode is seen. This is known as a febrile seizure and can be dangerous for the baby.

I hope this helps. all the best.
