General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello if the temperature reises above 38 grade Celsius give him paracetamol half the weight of the child. Give it in interval every 6 hours. Give your child a shower with running warm water (not hot, nor cold) for 10 minutes, to get the temperature low. Keep him with cold compresses. Alternate paracetamol with ibuprofen.
Best regards.
