Oh, children's fever is always so worrying, ho na? My little one often gets it. I usually give a lukewarm sponge bath, never cold haan. And lots of fluids is important. Just keep checking temperature regularly.
Beta, don't worry too much, fevers come and go with kids. We always used to put cool wet cloths on their forehead and armpits. And make sure they rest, that's key. Doctors these days give good medicines, just follow their advice.
Aww, poor baby! When my nephew had fever, all he wanted was plain rice and dal, no spices. We also gave him some fresh fruit juice. Make sure they eat *something* light, don't let them go hungry, it helps with energy. Thoda khana helps lift the mood too!
When kids get fever, first thing is keep them comfortable. We used to make them wear light cotton clothes. Sometimes a mixture of ginger juice with honey is given for a cough that comes with fever, but always in small amounts. And definitely consult the doctor if it's high.

Same here, my son had fever last month. Apart from paracetamol, I tried a few things: a light massage with diluted mustard oil on the chest and back, and some tulsi ka kadha. Helped him sleep better and reduced the body ache, I felt.
