My one and a half year old son has a fever exceeding 39 degrees Celsius?

If your child has a fever over 39 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to monitor the fever and give them acetaminophen if needed. Make sure they are drinking plenty of fluids and consult a pharmacist for the correct dosage based on their weight. If the fever persists for 72 hours or if your child is unable to eat or drink, it may be time to consult a doctor.
