How to control fever?

My son often catches a fever, especially after playing outside. Sometimes it shoots up quite fast, and I get worried. Besides medication, what are some home remedies or quick ways to control fever in kids?

Hey, don't stress too much! Just lie down, put a damp cloth on your forehead to help it come down naturally, and sip some warm water. Let your body rest today.

Yaar, if you have a fever, actually the first thing to do is rest and drink plenty of fluids. Don't just pop random pills, take a paracetamol if it's high, but monitor it closely.

Whenever my kids get a fever, I use lukewarm water sponging to bring the temperature down safely. Keep them in light clothing and ensure they are drinking enough fluids.

I always try to be cautious with fevers because they show our body is fighting something. Rest as much as possible, keep hydrated, and if it doesn't go away in a day, definitely consult a doctor.

Haan, body warm sponge bath can help a lot when the fever is high, na. Keep the room airy and don't wrap yourself in heavy blankets unless you are shivering.

Track your temperature every few hours using a digital thermometer so you can tell the doctor the exact trend. Keeping hydrated with electrolytes is key to recovery.

No need to panic, just take a basic paracetamol if the fever is making you uncomfortable. Keep your meals simple like khichdi and avoid heavy or oily food.
