How To Bring Down The Temperature In A Child?

my 10 yr old son has had a fever all afternoon. I am recently getting over the flu (or sever cold) and he has apparently got it now. His temp has been between 101.5 and 102.7. What should I do to bring down his temp or should I take him to urgent care?

Dear Parent,

You can use round the clock fever medications, sponge him with lukewarm water( specially the palms, soles, groin and armpits), and make him wear light cotton clothes to reduce his fever.
