How do you bring down a baby's fever?

Fever is your body's mechanism to fight infection. First: If your baby is under 3 months and has a fever of 38°C or higher, go straight to the emergency room without doing anything. For older babies, the basic steps are:
- Make sure your baby isn't overdressed; keep the room temperature around 21-22°C.
- Offer plenty of fluids — breast milk or formula (water is fine for 6+ months).
- Wiping with a lukewarm (not cold) cloth can help; never use alcohol or vinegar.
- Don't give fever-reducing medicine without doctor's advice — the dose and type depend on your baby's weight and age.
If fever is accompanied by lethargy, rash, breathing difficulty, constant crying, or seizures, go to the emergency room without delay.
