    7. The fever won't go down. Now what? - Top

    If the fever is 102' or less and your child is happy, relax. You don't need to get the fever down any further.

    If the fever is above 102', go back to the bathtub and resume bathing. Remember to pour water over your child so that he will lose heat through evaporation. - Updated: March 5, 2001
