How To Treat High Fever In A Kid?
My 7 year old daughter is running a very high fever and is acting confused. Unfortunately we are not at home but on a short vacation and do not have a thermometer. She is sleeping now but she still feels hot. I thought she was having an allergic reaction to peanut oil so I gave her a benedryl earlier. I also gave her advice for the fever.

you can give her paracitamol syrup 250 mg 5ml trice a day tp reduce the fever.
give her lots of water and butter milk as the confusion will be due to dehydration or hypoglycemia.
cool her body with tepid sponging with plain water frequently. see to it her head is no hot.
when you can get to the doctor you can take the temperature.
hope my advice helps you.
