First of all you should not mess around when a 3 yr old child is running a fever !. The first thing you do, if the fever is high run a luke warm bath (meaning cool! not hot not cold), to bring the temperature down, ring the new health line they have ,with professional staff waiting to answer your question regarding any aspect of health!. they can tell you what medication is safe and what amount is safe!. When you are dealing with children, you must be very careful what you give them!. If you distantnt to ring them then ring you doctor or local hospital (casualty dep), and they will advise you what to do!. always look for a reaction if you give a baby or child any medication!., and never give any thing unless you know what you are giving them!.Danton know how long ago you gave the child tylenol!? but just see if it has brought down his temp, as a baby can go into convolutions very quicklyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Paracitemol syrup !.!. It'safer to use than the tablets and works!. Also give him Phennergan syrup - he's allowed to take it at his age!. It's an anti-histamine but it will lower the fever a little bit and put him to sleep so he can recover and won't suffer so much pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

perhaps, try putting a pedestool fan near him, or placing a damp face washer over his forhead or back of his neck, even give him an icypole!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try placing/sponging with a cool face washer under his armpits and around his groin it should bring his temp down pretty quickly!. Make sure you don't dress him in too many clothesWww@Answer-Health@Com
