Brief Answer:
Taped Sponging
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
If the fever is exceeding 100 F then i suggest you to give her SYR. Ibrugesic 5ml. If it is below 100 F then you can continue with Calpol syrup.
When ever the temperature crosses 100 F. Taped sponging with mild XXXXXXX warm water plays a very good role than medicines.
All the kids loose their appetite during fever. You can give her any food she likes. Don't be specific about any food, just avoid oily and spicy food.
Give her lot of water and fluids. Just give her what ever she likes no matter even if it is junk food.
Your main intention should be not to dehydrate or make her starve.
Any issue do follow up.
Take care.
