Please describe if there are other things like ear discharge , rashes , diarrhea , joint swelling etc.
keep the baby in cool atmosphere , loosenclothings , give bath , give boiled & cooled water to drink . Give paracetamol only if these natural measures don’t keep temperatures down . Observe but do video consult if any of those symptoms have appeared .
