When a child has a fever, the following measures are generally recommended: 1. Administer appropriate temperature-regulating medications, such as antipyretics, to help reduce the child's body temperature. Also, encourage the child to drink plenty of fluids to assist in lowering the fever. 2. Provide a comfortable environment to make the child feel at ease and prevent further rise in body temperature. Measures such as using moist air or giving a lukewarm bath can help relieve the child's fever symptoms.
