What helps bring down baby fever?

The first step in bringing down a baby's fever is to make sure your baby is not overdressed and keep the room temperature around 21-22 degrees. Lukewarm (not hot or cold) baths or wiping with lukewarm water can help balance body temperature — definitely don't use cold water or alcohol, as this can be dangerous. Good fluid intake (breast milk, formula, or water depending on age) is also important. As for fever-reducing medicine, the dose and which medication is appropriate depends on your baby's weight and age, so I strongly recommend consulting your pediatrician. If fever is above 38°C and your baby is under 3 months, or if fever is accompanied by lethargy, rash, or breathing trouble, seek medical attention immediately. A good rule of thumb is: if your baby is playing and eating normally despite the fever, there's no emergency; but if your baby seems exhausted, fussy, or looks unwell, definitely see your doctor.
