Dealing with a fever is tricky. I am a mother so here is what I would do. First if it is over 101 and you cant get a break in it she needs to see a doctor very soon. If it will break then you need to alternate advil and tylenol every 4 hours. run a bath of luke warm water and sponge bathe her. make sure the water is not to cold due to shock and not to hot. even though she may be cold do not let her cover up the heat needs to escape. as for drinking- try Gatorade or sprite. but if she is vomiting continuously and has a very high fever i would recommend getting medical attention asap.oh to add on do not give the child aspirin- it causes a serious condition in children known as Reyes syndrome, so do NOT give aspirin.

If she has had a high fever for 3 days she needs to be taken to the doctor. Childrens Tylenol might help.

Take her to the doctor or a hospital to be checked. She might get a fit due to high fever. That damages brain cells. Keep ice on the head to lower the temperature of the head. Hurry up and show her to a doctor.

take it from a mother of three, you can also try children's Motrin. But if the fever is high, try rubbing the child down with rubbing alcohol, just on the skin. You put a little in your hands and rub it on the arms legs. Or you can put the child in a tepid bath.

she probably needs to see a doc... but give her a warm bath...despite what you might think a warm bath is better for a fever than a cold bath.....give her some childrens tylenol and give her lots of fluids...water, apple juice and let her rest.... fevers are our bodies way of fighting off infection...

Give her a fever reducer like children's tylenol or children's moltrin. If her fever still hasn't gone down, cool her down with damp cold compresses. Have your mom or dad or any adult take her to her pediatrician.
And give her pedialyte so she won't get dehydrated, since she's throwing up.

well, u should ahve told us the temperature, i cant really give u an answer without it, if it is above 100/101 give her medicine, if it isnt let her fight it off herself, id go to the doctors, cuz it could be something else causing the fever that is not too good.

You cant cure a fever. Just have her get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids. Her body will fight it off naturally.
