General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Use pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. These can help relieve a fever in children older than 6 months.Never give aspirin to a child under 18 years old.
-Offer fluids to help keep your child hydrated and reduce heat loss.
-Dress your child lightly to avoid overheating. For example, in one layer of light clothing and one light blanket.
-Sponge your child with lukewarm water to help relieve the discomfort of a high fever; stop if your child becomes cold.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
