<s>[INST] What other things can I do to help my child feel better when he has a fever? [/INST] First and foremost, make sure you are keeping your child hydrated! Offer them fluids frequently. They might not be very hungry, that's ok, as long as they are drinking well. There is a myth that children should not have milk if they have a fever or cold. Milk is a great fluid to give your child when they have a fever, especially if they are not eating well! Milk has calories and the nutrition your child needs to get well. You can also try other fluids such as watered down juice or gatorade, jello, popsicles or pedialyte. It doesn’t really matter what your child is drinking, as long as they are staying hydrated. When you child has a fever, resist the urge to bundle them in warm clothes and blankets. Do not let your child become chilled, but dress the child in light clothing so that they can get rid of some of the heat of the fever. Source: OAKLEAF CLINIC.
