Suggest Treatment For Persistent Fever In Kids

Hello,

My 6 yr old has had fever since 11pm last night ranging from 100-103.5, I have been giving him motrin & tylenol, have given him a cool bath midday. When I called dr earlier I was advised to continue w meds & to call back in the morning if fever continued. He was @ 102 earlier, his eyes are red & watery, & his nose is literally dripping?

the best treatment of fever are antpyretic like motrin,paracetamol, brufen etc.
but is better to know what caused that fever to the child.
is better treat the causes of fever instead of remaining using ant fever only.
so you need to send your child to hospital for further investigation.
