My 11month old baby got a fever last night. I gave her tylenol for the fever and bathe her to bring the fever down. This morning she has chills. She was recently taken to the doctor last week for cough no fever. She was prescribed cough medicine and amoxicillin.
Giving an infant a bath to reduce the temperature rarely has a lasting effect. It might be a better idea to sponge the child continuously with lukewarm water, till the core temperature comes back to normal, or at least subsides to a safe level. To check if the core temp. Has decreased, just check the warmth inside the children mouth. The chills are probably related to the underlying cause of the fever. You need to show her to the pediatrician as soon as possible.
