How to bring down a toddlers fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Fever is part of the normal body immune response that increases heart rate & breathing to circulate immune factors, white cells and oxygen. There is no data that it harms a kid. If the illness is one that features low grade fever it may need to just run its course. A cool rag on the forehead & chilled fluids can comfort the kid. If the level spooks you try an ibuprofen product.
