What to give baby for fever?

My baby, just 10 months old, has a slight fever since morning. She's a bit cranky and not sleeping well. What can I safely give her to bring her fever down?

Mere bete ko jab fever aata tha, toh pediatrician ne paracetamol drops suggest kiye the, dosage weight ke hisaab se. Always confirm with your child's doctor for the right medicine and dose. Keep them hydrated too.

It's always stressful when a baby has a fever. Best to consult a doctor, even for small changes.

Oh god, a baby with fever is the worst feeling! I always get so anxious. Have you checked if there are any other symptoms like a cold or cough? It's really important to see a pediatrician, they'll know exactly what to do and what medicine to give.

For babies, it's very delicate. You can try wiping them gently with a damp cloth to bring down the temperature a little. But if the fever is high or stays for long, please take them to a doctor immediately. Don't take risks with little ones.

My niece had a fever last month, and her parents were so worried. The doctor just said to give the prescribed fever syrup and make sure she drinks plenty of fluids like ORS or coconut water. It really helped her recover faster.

For my baby, when she had a fever, we always just followed the doctor's instructions strictly. They usually give a specific syrup based on age and weight. I wouldn't recommend anything without a doctor's consultation for a baby.
