Crying and illness night guide: Fever

• Undress your baby except for her nappy and vest. If your baby's temperature does not come down to about 38°C or below or she begins to twitch, go to the 24-hour clinic immediately.
• Ensure good air circulation.
• Cool the room with an electric fan.
• Place cool cloths on her forehead, the back of her neck and even around her arms and legs.
• Bath your baby in lukewarm water.
• Give the tissue salt ferrum phos and a homeopathic fever remedy.
• If you have given your baby fever medication before, give some according to dosage instructions and if the other tips do not work.
