Wear thin and airy clothes, sponge every 10 mins on armpits, groin, forehead and back of neck with room temperature water. Administer panadol every 4-6hours. Ensure good room ventilation.

Wear cooling and loose clothes. Do not bathe baby in cold water. It will make e fever go up higher afterwards.. Sponge in normal tap water with the windows, fans and aircon off.

Wear just normally or maybe add a jacket and sponge in cold water ...

1) should wear less clothes 2) sponge in cold water(tepid sponge)

Normal clothes unless baby is shivering . Sponge cold water

Dr told me, if you feel hot so does the baby. Cold water
