Suggest Remedy To Lower High Fever In Children
My 1 year old daughter has had an elevated temp for 16 hours now (above 38) Half an hour ago she had a temp of 39.4 (measured orally with a digital). I removed her clothes, sponged her limbs and breastfed her. I also gave her more panado infant drops. Her temperature has now dropped to 38.6. What should I do?

That was good .all what you did is good
You have to give her antipyretic regularly each 6-8 hours for at least 2-3days until the temperature is going to be normal
Her clothes must be cotton and light .
the water bath for the lower part of the body is more useful lower temperatureunder 38 before giving the doseof antipyretic
