Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?
One father had seven sons, but not one daughter, although he would very much like to have a daughter; Finally, the hope arose that the family would have to increase even more, and his wife bore him a daughter. The joy at her birth was very great; but the baby was both small and frail, so that the parents even had to hurry with baptism.
The father quickly sent one of the boys to the nearest spring for water for baptism; and the other six ran after the messenger, and since each wanted to be the first to scoop up water, it turned out that the mug fell into the water. This puzzled them so much that they stood by the water and none of them dared to be the first to return home.
Their father waited and waited, finally lost all patience and said: "It's true, they, the scoundrels, played there, and forgot about the matter." He began to fear that, perhaps, the girl would die in his arms unbaptized, and in his annoyance he said: "And so that they all be ravens!"
And as soon as he uttered this word, he suddenly heard the whistle of wings over his head, looked up and saw seven black ravens flying low, low above him. They flew and disappeared.
Parents could not remove the spell from them, and no matter how they grieved over the loss of their seven, their dear daughter, who soon got stronger and began to get prettier from day to day, served them as a considerable consolation in grief.
She did not even know that she had brothers, because her parents were afraid to mention it in front of her; however, it somehow happened that strangers in her presence once let slip: their daughter, they say, is very good with them, but nevertheless she was the fault of the misfortune of her seven brothers.
Then she was very saddened by this, went to her father and mother and asked if she really had brothers, and if they were, then where did they go? At this point, her parents did not dare to hide a secret from her; but they said that this happened by the will of fate, and her birth served only as an involuntary reason for this.
But the girl every day reproached herself for the fact that she had ruined her brothers, and wondered that she should save them from the spell placed on them. And until then, she did not calm down, until she quietly left home and set off to wander around the world to find her brothers and free them at all costs.
She took with her on the road only a ring from her parents as a keepsake, a loaf of bread in case she got hungry, a glass of water to quench her thirst, and a chair on which to sit down when tired. And she went, she went far, far away - to the very end of the world. She came to the sun; but it was too hot, too scary, and it ate little children.
Hastily she ran from the sun to the moon; but the moon was already too cold and also looked gloomily and spitefully, and, seeing the girl, began to say: "I smell - it smells, it smells of human flesh."
She ran away from the moon and came to the stars, who were both kind and affectionate to her, and each sat on her own special chair. And as the morning star rose, she brought the little girl a crutch and said: “If you don’t have this crutch, you won’t open the mountain of glass, but in the glass mountain there are your brothers.”
The girl took the crutch, wrapped it in a scarf, and walked again, walked, until she came to the glass mountain. The gate into that mountain was closed, and the girl remembered the crutch; but when she opened the handkerchief, she saw that the crutch was not there: she had lost a gift of good stars on the road.
What was she to do? I wanted to rescue the brothers - and just the key to the glass mountain was not there!
Then the good sister took a knife, cut off her little finger, put it in the keyhole of the gate and unlocked it safely. She went inside the mountain, a dwarf came out to meet her and said: "Child, what are you looking for?" “I am looking for my brothers, the seven ravens,” she answered. The dwarf said: "The lord of the crows is not at home now, but if you want to wait for their return, then come in."
Then the dwarf brought the crows their food and drink on seven plates and in seven cups, and the sister ate a crumb from each plate, and took a sip from each cup; into the last glass she lowered the ring she had brought with her.
And suddenly there was a rustling, whistling in the air, and the dwarf said: "This is the gentlemen of the crows returning home."
And sure enough: they flew in, wanted to eat and drink, and began to look for their plates and cups. Then each of them said in turn: "Who ate from my plate? Who took a sip from my glass? These are human lips and drank and ate."
And when the seventh drained his cup, a ring rolled out of it.
He looked at him, recognized the parent's ring and said: "God grant that our sister was here - then deliverance would come for us."
As soon as the sister heard these words (and she stood outside the door and listened), then she went out to them, and all the crows at the same moment again turned into her brothers. And they kissed, and had mercy, and happy, cheerful, they went home.
One man had seven sons and not a single daughter, and he really wanted to have her. Finally, his wife gave him a good hope that they would have a child; and they had a girl. The joy was great; but the child turned out to be frail and small, so that he had to be baptized ahead of time.
The father of one of the boys sent to the spring to bring water for baptism as soon as possible; the six others ran after him - each of them wanted to be the first to draw water - so the jug fell into the well. And they stood and did not know what to do now, and no one dared to return home. Father waited for them, waited, but they still did not return, he finally lost his patience and said:
Perhaps the ugly boys started playing again, but they forgot about the matter. - And he began to fear that the girl would die unbaptized, and shouted out of annoyance:
And to turn you all into ravens!
As soon as he uttered this word, he suddenly hears the sound of wings above his head. He looked up and saw seven jet-black ravens circling above him.
And the father and mother could not remove their spell, and no matter how much they grieved over the loss of their seven sons, they nevertheless gradually consoled themselves, looking at their beloved daughter. She soon grew up, got stronger and every day became more beautiful and more beautiful.
For a long time she did not know that she had brothers - her father and mother avoided telling her about it. But then one day she accidentally heard from people how they said that the girl was really good, but she was to blame for the misfortune of her seven brothers.
Hearing about this, she became very sad, went up to her father and mother and began to ask them if she had brothers and where they disappeared. And now, - you can’t hide the truth, - they had to explain to her that this happened by the will of above and her birth was only an accidental reason for this. The girl began to reproach herself every day and thought hard about how she could rescue her brothers.
And she had no rest until she secretly gathered on a long journey to find her brothers and free them at all costs. She took with her on the road in memory of her father and mother only a ring, a loaf of bread - in case she gets hungry, and a bench so that she can rest if she gets tired.
And she went far, far away, to the very end of the world. So she approached the sun, but it was so hot, so terrible, and it devoured small children. She quickly rushed from the sun to the moon, but he was so cold, gloomy and angry, and when he saw the girl, he said to her:
I smell, I smell human flesh.
She ran away from him and came to the stars. They were affectionate and kind, and each of the stars sat on a special bench. The morning star rose, gave her a crutch and said:
If this crutch is not with you, you will not be able to open the Glass Mountain where your brothers are imprisoned.
The girl took the crutch, wrapped it well in a handkerchief, and went. She walked for a long, long time until she came to the Glass Mountain. The gates were closed; she wanted to get the spike, unfolded the handkerchief, looking - but it was empty, she lost the gift of good stars.
What to do here? She so wanted to save her brothers, but there was no key to the Glass Mountain. Then the good sister took a knife, cut off her little finger, put it in the gate and opened it easily. She enters, and a dwarf meets her, and says to her:
Girl, what are you looking for here?
I am looking for my brothers, seven ravens.
And the dwarf says to her:
Ravens are not at home. If you want to wait for them until they return, then come in.
Then the dwarf brought food to the crows on seven plates; the sister tasted a crumb from each plate and drank a sip from each goblet, and lowered the ring she took with her on the road into the last goblet.
Suddenly he hears the sound of wings and a whistle in the air. And the dwarf says to her:
It's the crows flying home.
So they flew in, wanted to eat and drink, began to look for their plates and cups. And raven after raven says:
Who ate this from my plate? Who drank from my goblet? No human lips?
The seventh raven drank his goblet to the bottom, and then the ring rolled out. He looked at it and recognized that it was the father-mother's ring, and said:
God grant that our sister is here, then we will be disenchanted.
And the girl was standing right there outside the door; she heard their desire and went in to them, - and now the ravens turned into people again. And they kissed, had mercy, and merrily returned home together.
seven ravens
There lived a king in the world, and he had seven sons, but there was no daughter.
The king really wanted to have a daughter, and he often said:
"If I have a daughter, I will give her the kingdom." And the sons heard it all.
Soon the queen gave birth to a daughter. The king almost dances with joy, and his sons are sad. Somehow they got together and began to think what they should do now. They thought and thought and decided to set off: anyway, they would not see the kingdom, and sooner or later they would have to leave home.
In the morning they left the palace and went aimlessly. Soon the brothers wandered into the dense forest. They walked for three days and three nights, and still they could not get out of the forest. On the third day they came to a small hut. An old woman lived in it, and she sheltered seven princes. During the day, the brothers went into the forest, hunted, and the old woman took care of the house. They lived well.
Meanwhile, the princess grew up and gained her mind. She was ten years old. And somehow she found seven shirts in the closet that she had never seen before. The girl asks the mother:
- Whose shirts are these?
Then the mother told her daughter about her seven brothers, who left the house and went to seek their fortune.
It was a pity for the sister of the brothers, and she decided to find them. The princess took seven shirts and left the house to look for her brothers. For three days and three nights she walked through the forest. Tired, sat on a stump and cried. Suddenly an old man comes up to her and asks:
- Why are you crying, girl?
“I left the brothers’ house to look for and got lost,” the princess replies.
“Take this whistle,” the old man tells her. “You whistle at him three times and immediately find yourself where you want to be.” And with those words, he disappeared. 
The princess whistled three times and wished to be near her brothers. And immediately I found myself at a small hut. A girl entered there, she sees: an old woman is busy at the stove.
- Do you know where my brothers are? the princess asks her.
- How not to know, - the old woman answers, - they live here, and now they have gone hunting.
The girl put the shirts on the bench and eagerly waited for the princes. They returned home, saw their shirts and immediately realized that it was their sister who came to them, were delighted, ran out into the garden to pick flowers to give her. But as soon as they plucked a rose, they immediately turned into seven ravens. The sister was saddened and asked the old woman:
- Tell me, how can I save my brothers?
- Oh, daughter, - the old woman answers, - this is not an easy task. To save them, you have to be silent for seven years! The princess agreed to remain silent for seven years in order to save her brothers. She went into the forest, climbed a large oak tree, and did not say a word. And seven ravens began to bring her food every day.
So six years passed, the seventh year went. And then one day the king went to the forest to hunt. He drove up to a large oak tree and saw: a beautiful girl was sitting on it. The king ordered to remove her from the tree. And when she was on the ground, he looked and recognized his daughter.
- Why did you, daughter, run away into the forest? the king asks.
The princess is silent. The father was surprised - his daughter was definitely numb! They brought her home, and the princess is silent, not a word will be uttered. 
And from the day the princess was brought home, seven ravens began to fly to the king in the garden. They sit on an apple tree and talk about something. The king ordered to announce that he would generously reward the one who said what the crows were talking about in his garden.
Once a wandering man came to the king and said that he knew what the ravens were talking about, but he would not reveal this secret until the king promised to give him his daughter as his wife and, in addition, half the kingdom. The king promised to give the wandering man a princess and half a kingdom in addition if he discovers the secret of the seven ravens. A stranger came into the garden and said:
- Seven ravens are the sons of one king. Once they left home. And the daughter of that king went to look for her brothers. She found them, but the brothers turned into ravens, and in order to save them, the sister agreed to remain silent for seven years. Soon this term will pass, and the princess will speak again, and the seven ravens will become princes. Now the crows are talking about whether they should return to their father's house or leave again. Then the king realized that these were his sons, and exclaimed: 
- If only they knew how much I want them to come back!
At that moment, exactly seven years had passed, and seven ravens turned into his sons, and the princess ran out of her room and rushed to hug her brothers:
- How glad I am that you have become princes again, and now we are all together! she spoke. The king looked at them, wept for joy and asked for forgiveness from the children.
The princess married a wanderer, and he refused half of the kingdom. They divided all the lands into eight parts, so that everyone would get equally. And they began to live together and happily.
Lithuanian folk tale in retelling
One man had seven sons and not a single daughter, and he really wanted to have her. Finally, his wife gave him a good hope that they would have a child; and they had a girl. The joy was great; but the child turned out to be frail and small, so that he had to be baptized ahead of time.
The father of one of the boys sent to the spring to bring water for baptism as soon as possible; the six others ran after him - each of them wanted to be the first to draw water - so the jug fell into the well. And they stood and did not know what to do now, and no one dared to return home. Father waited for them, waited, but they still did not return, he finally lost his patience and said:
Perhaps the ugly boys started playing again, but they forgot about the matter. - And he began to fear that the girl would die unbaptized, and shouted out of annoyance:
And to turn you all into ravens!
As soon as he uttered this word, he suddenly hears the sound of wings above his head. He looked up and saw seven jet-black ravens circling above him.
And the father and mother could not remove their spell, and no matter how much they grieved over the loss of their seven sons, they nevertheless gradually consoled themselves, looking at their beloved daughter. She soon grew up, got stronger and every day became more beautiful and more beautiful.
For a long time she did not know that she had brothers - her father and mother avoided telling her about it. But then one day she accidentally heard from people how they said that the girl was really good, but she was to blame for the misfortune of her seven brothers.

And she went far, far away, to the very end of the world. So she approached the sun, but it was so hot, so terrible, and it devoured small children. She quickly rushed from the sun to the moon, but he was so cold, gloomy and angry, and when he saw the girl, he said to her:

She ran away from him and came to the stars. They were affectionate and kind, and each of the stars sat on a special bench. The morning star rose, gave her a crutch and said:
If this crutch is not with you, you will not be able to open the Glass Mountain where your brothers are imprisoned.
The girl took the crutch, wrapped it well in a handkerchief, and went. She walked for a long, long time until she came to the Glass Mountain. The gates were closed; she wanted to get the spike, unfolded the handkerchief, looking - but it was empty, she lost the gift of good stars.
What to do here? She so wanted to save her brothers, but there was no key to the Glass Mountain. Then the good sister took a knife, cut off her little finger, put it in the gate and opened it easily. She enters, and a dwarf meets her, and says to her:
Girl, what are you looking for here?
I am looking for my brothers, seven ravens.

Ravens are not at home. If you want to wait for them until they return, then come in.

So they flew in, wanted to eat and drink, began to look for their plates and cups. And raven after raven says:
Who ate this from my plate? Who drank from my goblet? No human lips?
The seventh raven drank his goblet to the bottom, and then the ring rolled out. He looked at it and recognized that it was the father-mother's ring, and said:
God grant that our sister is here, then we will be disenchanted.
And the girl was standing right there outside the door; she heard their desire and went in to them, - and now the ravens turned into people again. And they kissed, had mercy, and merrily returned home together.
