To sponging of body with lukewarm water whenever there is any fever. If fever crosses 100, you can give 5 ml of syrup paracetamol (120mg). You can repeat after 4 hours only if there is fever. Fever is produced by the body to fight infection fever is not dangerous unless it crosses 104. So don't worry about a little fever
