you do not need to take him to hospital. you let him drink oresol, orange juice. Give the child plenty of fluids and wear cool clothes. Take them into sheltered places, remove his clothes and warm towel for baby wipes people, especially the parts underarm, lymph nodes, groin ...
  Taken to hospital in case of high fever over 40 ° C, the condition lasts for more than 5 days or other manifestations such as struggling, convulsions..
