If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use fever-reducing medication to lower the temperature. You can take Motrin according to the instructions. Take the child to the hospital as soon as possible to check blood tests, C-reactive protein, and mycoplasma to identify the following infectious causes.
