Baby fever 102
Hello Doctor,
My son age is 1 year , 6 months. Today From evening he has fever and started heavy crying. Tried of giving paracetamol but after immediately he tasting it - he started vomiting 2 times. So immediately went to pediatrician. So Doctor inserted a tablet from his bottom @7 pm (103 temperature). And said to observe for 1 hr. After 1 hr he stopped crying and fever also reduced. So now from 11 pm. The fever raised. Gave paracetamol 250 (3ml ) at 11:20 pm. Now fever is 102. Done wet cloth procedure also. But my husband is refusing to wear a dress dor baby as he's having more fever. Is it OK to leave a fever baby without dress and he's also suggesting wet cloth all over baby's body for every 15 mins. Is it OK Doctor?
Any other suggestions. Please suggest.
Thank you.

Next Steps
for fever as well as pain kindly give paracetamol according to the weight of child as well as according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having and paracetamol can be given maximum 4 times per day and also do body sponge to decrease the surface temperature.
also when u take temperature in the armpit of the child and it is 100 or more then only consider it as fever and give paracetamol.
higher medicines for fever like ibugesic and mefenamic has to be given only after medical consultation.
after giving fever medicines you can wait for maximum 3 days and then meet your doctor if it is not improving. keep the child in cool atmosphere
