Thanks to HCM I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR SON PROBLEM It is terrible situations when small child who unable to speak and tell their problems . Don t worry ,what you are doing right now like cold sponging during high temperature is correct method of bringing the temperature . children due to high fever may develop convulsions which we can afraid plz go through all routine investigation to find out the cause of fever ,special investigations if suspected . try to avoid journeys with child, take care of diet ,avoid exposure to cool weather ,air cooler &AC in child room .,, plz monitor the temperature over 24 hours which gives clue to diagnosis along with other lab reports normally after usage of syrup it takes to control the temperature ,but in emergency we can use paracetamol injection according to age and weight prescribed by a paediatrician . so don t be tense during such situations ,try to find the cause of fever .. ok
