Pls suggest what can be done to lower the temperature?Paracetamol isn't helping much.

Dear parents nothing wrong with your medicines. Do continue with same as per dosage prescribed by your Paediatrician. In addition to medication do tap water spongings.

You can give paracetamol 4 hourly with meftal p also
If not down then the child has fluid deficiency needs plenty of liquids
