Any remedy for fever? This morning went to GP and doc said that baby didnt have any other symptoms or illness just caught a cold and simply prescribed the same paracetamol as what polyclinic gave. However fever doesnt subside, always around 38 range. Lo is 16mo

Hi, it could be viral fever. The fever always around 38 deg C or even higher. If ur baby is still eating well and drinking well should be okay just need to monitor the temperature. Let baby have enough sleep and water. Usually viral fever can lasted for 5 to 7 days. My son got viral fever that lasted him more than 7 days. If baby temp hit more than 38.5 Deg C or too tired and refuse food and water I suggest u bring him to another GP for review.

Will baby develop any other sign/symptoms? He still eat and drink but just much lesser than his usual. He still being very active playing and running around just that the temp remains very high especially evening to next morning.
