 [ Symptoms ] im not pregnant an i am forming brest milk [ Disease ] you are treating a fever incorrectly first fever is harmless and does not need to be treated second you do not ever use rubbing alcohol sponge baths since this does tend to raise the temperture when the thermal sensors on the skin send signals to the brain the this child is cold this causes shivering and shivering raises body temperature you also do not wrap up a child to sweat it out as a matter of fact sweating allows the body to naturally cool when air is passed over it this is not a very high fever at all if you want to give her some acetaminophen or ibuprofen then this is fine keep her well hydrated and out of those baths most febrile events in children are caused by simple viral infections so you can certainly see her regular medical provider if you are concerned going to the er would not likely be indicated
