Best Answer

Both aspirin and paracetamol reduce fever but aspirin should not be given to children under 12. Liquid paracetamol such as Calpol is recommended for young children.

However since fever is a response to your body's immune system fighting bacteria or viruses there is some suggestion it is best not to try to reduce fever but only to reduce discomfort by applying a tepid damp cloth to the forehead to reduce a high temperature.

If a baby has a high or persistent fever or fever is accompanied by listlessness, palour or quickened breathing you should see a doctor.
