Temperature of drink has to be approximately equal to the body temperature of the kid that liquid was quicker soaked up in blood and did not allow its condensation.
4. Temperature increase of a body means that in an organism there is an active process of production of the interferon necessary for fight against a virus. If the child transfers the increased temperature normally (runs, plays, behaves as usual), then to a medical prescription do not force down it febrifuges. If the kid has diseases of nervous system, tendency to spasms, the child objectively badly feels or temperature exceeded 39 degrees, give paracetamol or an ibuprofen (to children 6 months are more senior).
