Suggest Medication To Reduce High Fever In Child
My ten year old son has a temp of 103.5, he s well hydrated with water and Emergen-c, and did give a cough suppressant and decongestant around 4 hours ago. He hardly ate all day, slept on and off, and slept in good blocks of two-3 hours so far this night. We have not given fever reducers but did a warm shallow bath, temp did not reduce after cooling off after bath
