Bundling up the child only seals in the heat and keeps the temperature elevated. Give the child Tylenol. Check the back label of the bottle for the appropriate dose before giving. Tempra and Paramol are common generic forms of acetaminophen liquid, which is what Tylenol is. Give your child plenty of fluids to drink.
Fluids also help to bring a child's temperature down and help prevent dehydration.
The child has stopped urinating or wetting diapers. Finally, any child younger than 3 months with any fever of 100.4 or higher needs to be seen as soon as possible by a health care provider. Children this small have a difficult time fighting infection.

Certainly, if at any time you as a parent are concerned about the way your child is responding to a fever or illness, call either Pediatrics or the Emergency Room at your local medical treatment facility.
