Cold hands, feet, and shivering are common when a child's temperature is rising. You can give infant paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen to help lower the fever and comfort your baby. Always dose according to their weight, following the package instructions carefully. Never give aspirin to children. Keep your baby hydrated with breast milk, formula, or water, and dress them in a single light layer of clothing. Please consult a doctor immediately if your baby becomes unresponsive, has difficulty breathing, develops a stiff neck, or if the fever persists.
