Hello
Thank for choosing HCM
I appreciate your concern, if this is the febrile state of child means the body temperature is more than 100 F then it is most advisable to give Acetaminophen (Tylenol) but here I would like to point out that it is better to control the temperature with cold sponging first and if it fails to work then you can try antipyretic medicine (Tylenol) second and most important is to treat the underlying cause of fever, in your case it could be just allergic condition and may not require any vigorous treatment, just take care for hydration, pure honey can be tried with steam inhalation, hope this information helps.
