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.

View allI'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter's ear pain. We already saw a doctor, and they gave us some drops to put in her ear, mentioning there was an infection or fungus. I followed the instructions, but she's still complaining of pain. Could you let me know why this might be happening? Is there anything else I should try or be looking out for?
Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm really worried because Sidrah has been dealing with a cold and cough for the past three days. It's more of a wet cough. I've been giving her Relent plus for two days and started Asthakind DX yesterday. Could you give me some advice on how to help her get better?
She seems to be suffering from common cold which is a common type of nose and throat virus infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can continue giving medications. No specific treatment is really needed. Self medications are better avoided
