Children are quite comfortable with mild fever. And increased temperature actually help fight infection. So no medicine is required. Give Paracetamol only if high temperature, or baby is uncomfortable. Dose is 15 mg per Kg body weight, can be repeated 6 hourly
Next Steps
If child is not getting well, go to doctor to find cause of fever.
Health Tips
loosening clothes and cool surrounding also help reduce fever.
