NO FAN..no aircond<br />2. Immediately give the syrup paracetamol..follow the schedule until he/she ok...<br />3.Do the sponging thing..i'll sponge like every 5 minutes continuously, until she is cool & i'm really sure that her high fever is gone..not for 30 minutes only..so far the high fever will only last for 24 - 36 hrs..sometime less than that..<br />4. One more tips..bath your child in the morning..like 8am - 9am..make sure you WET the head thoroughly and long enaugh..make it fun..it will helps cool down the body & head temperature besides it make your child happy & fun..& sometimes it will help them to eat better...<br /><br />these are my experience for the past 5 years...the sponging is the most important thing..sometimes i'm too tired & sleepy to do the sponging when she had the high fever at night..it means..i sponged her every 2-3 hours only..if this happen..normally her fever will be more than 2 days...<br /><br />hope my experience can give some info to others :)..& tq for ur info about the permanent & milk teeth.. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-38011626342733700102009-02-14T09:27:00.000+08:002009-02-14T09:27:00.000+08:00hi hi....i came across this while searching around...hi hi....i came across this while searching around for sponging method.

Wish you all healthy! :)<BR/><BR/>Normally if I do it at home, besides forehead, I will sponge my baby's underarms and under tights by letting the cold towel hang in there for a while. Then, keep repeating it for about half an hour. But, I will never put my baby under the fan. Sometimes, it's better to be in air con room rather than under the fan if the sickness involve flu.<BR/><BR/>LOL! May be when I am free I can write a short post about this topic, sorry for being so long winded in ur comment column. <BR/><BR/>take care, ya...Everyday Healyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554144765304493483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-7711692704215006632007-11-21T15:42:00.000+08:002007-11-21T15:42:00.000+08:00lian,Yes, the squirting part was hard!

I remember trying to squirt medicine into my little sick babies only to have it all come back out.
