You can try to bring down the temperature without the help of medication, or just relieve the child's condition. Several publicly available measures proven over the years:

Drinking plenty of fluids... The more liquid there is, the better the child will sweat, thereby bringing down the temperature naturally. If the child cannot yet be drunk with raspberry tea, then more often apply it to the breast.

Comfort temperature... There is no need to dress the child "warmly". It would be more correct to undress him, covering him with a diaper.

Wet rubdown... The main thing is not to overdo it with the cold, so that there are no vascular spasms. And even more so, no vodka compresses that can cause poisoning.
