Doctors typically recommend treating babies for slight fever with paracetamol, which can be delivered as a syrup or as a suppository every 6 hours. Taking a child's clothes off can also help reduce a fever and is an action that most pediatricians would approve of. If these actions don't help reduce the fever or if the condition persists for more than two days, you can take her to a pediatrician for an examination.
