Fever occurs when the body temperature is above normal. It is an indication that your body is fighting off the infection. Although, developing fever is mostly harmless in kids but it causes great discomfort. Here are some best home remedies you can use when your kid is having fever:
1. Warm or lukewarm bath: It immensely helps in reducing the high-body temperature. Usually, kids don't like to bath they have a fever. In such a scenario, use warm water cloth to keep on his forehead.
2. Drinking of fluids: As the body temperature rises, the body uses fluids from our body which may lead to dehydration. So keep your kid rehydrated by giving lots of water or an electrolyte type drink.
3. Fruits: Make your kid eat different fruits like banana, watermelon, etc. These fruits have the required minerals and vitamins which help in boosting the immunity that ultimately fights the infection. Avoid the fruits that are too sour, so he does not get a sour throat.
4. Resting: Rest is very important for the body to fight off the infection.
5. Medicine: With the consultation of a child specialist or paediatrician, you can give your kid little doses of medicine too.
