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.
