Is it safe to give my 14-month-old baby frequent sponge baths to lower a fever if Crocin and Meftal are not working, or can doing it too many times cause harm?

Lukewarm sponge baths are safe and can provide comfort, but avoid cold water, which can cause shivering and actually raise the body temperature. Since Crocin (paracetamol) and Meftal (mefenamic acid) are not lowering the fever, please do not give extra doses. Instead, keep your baby hydrated with fluids and dressed in light clothing. Because the medications aren't working as expected, it is very important to consult your pediatrician promptly to identify the underlying cause of the fever and ensure your baby receives the right care.
