All fevers require physical examination to evaluate the cause and rule out serious infections. Kindly visit a Pediatrician clinic.

Continue Simple PCM syp 6 hourly with correct doses.15mg/kg/dose every 6hourly alongwith tepid sponging.water should not be cold or hot, just room temperature.Cold water sponging can cause rigors which can increase temperature of body.Since its second day only, possibility of viral illness is more specially if child is active playful in between fever episodes.Just keep hydrating with lots of oral fluids.Look for any danger signs like lethargy, decrease oral intake, continuous high grade fever, recurrent vomiting, decrease urine output, dry lips, fast breathing.Consult pediatrician immediately if any danger signs noticed.

Greetings
recurring fever of 102°F every 6 hours requires a direct consultation to identify the underlying infection.Ensure your child stays well-hydrated by offering frequent, small sips of water, clear broths, or ORS.Apply tepid sponging with room-temperature water on the forehead and body to help lower the heat safely.Avoid combining multiple over-the-counter syrups to prevent dangerous, accidental overlapping of active drug ingredients.Seek immediate emergency care if she shows rapid breathing, extreme lethargy, a new rash, or refuses fluids.
