Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Motrin/Tylenol: Motrin 10mg/kg may be provided to reduce the fever. If the Motrin does not help, then Tylenol may be provided. If the fever persists or is associated with worrisome symptoms, please see your Pediatrician. Provide fluids, rest and continue to monitor her temperature.
