General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Place a cool, damp washcloth on your child's forehead while she rests.
-Give your child a lukewarm tub bath or a sponge bath.
-Offer plenty of fluids and chilled foods, such as ice pops and yogurt, to help cool the body from the inside out and keep her hydrated.
-use acetaminophen every 4-6 hours.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
