Hi,
The most common cause of the fever is viral infection, fever can be managed with cold sponging this is the first thing can be done at home and it is much safer and effective, if it is high fever then Acetaminophen can be tried but it has to be given in full dose and pediatric dose may not work.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
