Hi, Thanks for asking query on health care magic. Paracetamol given 3-4 times daily will reduce temperature. Tepid sponging when there is high fever also helps. Children of this age may go into febrile convulsions at the height of temparature. You may try frizium to prevent convulsions. Better consult a pediatrician for diagnosing the cause of fever and appropriate treatment. Hope this answer will serve your purpose. Please feel free to ask any more queries if required. Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD; DCH. Associate professor of pediatrics, MIMS.
