You can try sponging with water if there is mild fever. Fever helps the body to fight infection. One should avoid treating fever unless it's high. Just like we kill germs by boiling water, the body tries to kill bad germs by creating fever
Next Steps
contact a pediatrician if fever repeats every few hours
