Hi my 2yr old has had a fever of 38.5c all day I took the temp under her arm. Her face is pail she won't eat she won't drink. She keeps shaking but its not cold she's also saying ow but being 2 she can't tell me why. I had giving her baby Tylenol but didn't seem to work I gave her a cool bath but nothing. Is this a high fever is there anything I could do to make her feel better
Hi, giving tylenol would reduce fever, and giving tepid sponging would also add to the help. however i would recommend to consult your pediatrician, to check out what causes the fever and to know about correct dosage of the medications, which would help in faster recovery. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
