How do you bring down a fever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

I'm wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?

Im really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?
Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.
