If your child has a fever but is generally fine, then you do not need to do anything other than make sure they are given enough fluids.
When the infant or child is breast-fed or bottle-fed, breast milk or formula is the most appropriate liquid. In addition, he can be given lukewarm water that has not reached the boiling point to maintain the level of fluids in his body.
But if your child seems unwell or uncomfortable, then you can use pain relievers for children, such as 29. Panadol
Some tips include:
▪︎ Have the child wear light clothes.
▪︎ Keep your child's body temperature down by making sure the room temperature is appropriate - make sure the room is not too cold.
▪︎ Using a sponge soaked in lukewarm water can help bring down the temperature – try not to use a cold sponge as this will have the opposite effect and can actually make the baby overheat
