Keep your child hydrated, dress them in lightweight clothing, and use fever reducing medication only as advised by your pediatrician. Avoid giving aspirin to children.
If your child has a fever above 39°C (102.2°F), experiences seizures, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, or becomes unusually sleepy, seek medical attention immediately.
