Fever reducer: You can give luke warm bath and see if fever is down.If does not help may use fever reducer. Check with your md regarding dosage.

Not too hot: A fever of 100.6 isn't that bad. But. If you wish tylenol (acetaminophen) will lower a child's fever. The teething should ease up. Give her a frozen teething ring to bite on. Help her teething and cool her down.

Call your MD: Your physician may suggest your baby take tylenol (acetaminophen). This should be safe in the proper dosage.
