How to reduce high fever in infants?

Don't experiment with home remedies on a small infant. Do normal tap water sponging to control the temperature immediately, and then call your pediatrician for the exact dose of paracetamol drops according to the baby's weight.

Oh no, poor baby! 🥺 Please do normal tap water sponging on their tiny forehead and tummy right away. Don't use cold water as it can cause shivering! Sending lots of love to the little one! 💕

First, take a deep breath. Babies get fevers easily because their immune systems are developing. Take off any heavy woollens, keep the room well-ventilated, and apply damp cloth strips to their forehead while you contact your doctor.

Please do not delay. High fever in infants can sometimes cause febrile convulsions very quickly. If the baby is dull, not feeding, or if the fever is above 101 degrees, please take them to a hospital immediately.

My sister's 6-month-old had a high fever last week. Sponging with normal room temperature water worked instantly to lower the heat before we reached the clinic. Just avoid cold ice water, it makes it worse.
