Suggest Remedy For High Fever In An Infant
I have a 7 month old who has a under arm temp of 38.5. I can t get her to take any medicine to take it down. She has only drank about half ounce of water since 4pm . Doesn t want any bottle either and has blood shot eyes. I spoke to a doctor earlier but they weren t concerned as she was drinking.

Hello
You can give her acetaminophen for fever below 38.5 and over it ibuprofen. You can find them in pharmacy as syrup or as suppositories.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
