Ways to reduce high fever in a child

Give your child an antifever medicine as per your doctor's prescription.

Dress your child lightly as excess clothing will trap body heat and cause the temperature to rise.

Make your child drink plenty of fluids, such as water and juices.

Give your child a lukewarm bath, but remember do not allow your child to shiver from cold water. It can raise the body temperature.

Also, make sure you do not leave your child unattended in the bathtub.

Placing a cool, damp washcloth on your forehead and the back of your neck can help your fever symptoms feel better.
