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 :
-Take Temperature frequently
-You can give infant- or child-formula acetaminophen (Tylenol)
-Bathing or sponging the child with lukewarm water may help bring down the temperature. Do not use cold water, ice baths, or alcohol.
-Call your pediatrician if the fever lasts for more than two days, gets higher, or you are concerned.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
