Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
To get the temperature down due to fever, the best options are taking Paracetamol and doing tepid sponging, that helps in controlling the fever.
If fever persists for more then 3-5 days, one should see the doctor for evaluation of the cause of fever.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
