Nurofen for Children have asked us to find out what tips, non-medicinal remedies and soothing ideas Mumsnetters have to help make their children feel better when they’re suffering with a fever.

The winter months are a common time for children to develop a fever (or high temperature). Parents often have a host of remedies up their sleeve to help a child cope when they're under the weather. The team at Nurofen for Children would love to hear your tips!

Here's what Nurofen for Children says, "When you notice your child is suffering from a high temperature it can be worrying, however, a high temperature, which is also known as a fever, is common in young children. To help makes this a less stressful time there are lots of ways - often passed down the generations - to help ease their discomfort during the illness."

So, what do you do to help your DCs feel better when they have a winter bug? Do you tuck them under multiple covers on the couch and let them choose what's on TV? Perhaps you have a special family recipe which always helps to make them feel a bit better - or maybe a hot bath does the trick. Whatever it is, we’d love to hear it.

Everyone who leaves their comments below will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

Warm squash to drink...a soothing flannel on their heads and mummys bed and soft pillows always seem to work

Duvet on couch, Disney films and cuddles

Rosehips · 14/12/2016 12:11

special fluffy blanket

StickChildNumberTwo · 14/12/2016 12:28

Being wrapped up in blankets on the sofa to watch far more TV than is usually allowed helps with any illness round here.

Sleep and cuddles

Reading a story. Always makes them feel better.

Snuggles on the sofa watching Frozen if they're up to being downstairs - if they are really poorly, wrong though it may be, the only way we survive is by being with Mummy in bed. It's the only way I can sooth them when they need it (numerous times throughout the night) and be able to function myself the next day. Oh - and medicine obviously - cause as much as I bumble through this job, I can't lower a temperature all by myself...

Warm bath, cuddles in bed and reading lots of books

doleritedinosaur · 16/12/2016 23:11

Wrapped up on the sofa with blankets and Peppa pig/Thomas/favourite cartoons as well as reading books.

Sung to sleep with Twinkle little star and you are my sunshine.

Favourite foods and Oatie biscuits.

A lot of cwtches.

A snuggly blanket on the couch (always has to be the couch not bed when poorly!) and a magical film playing (usually ELF!!). Homemade chicken noodle soup seems to work a treat too!

GiraffesAndButterflies · 18/12/2016 08:21

Cuddles, CBeebies, being carried up the stairs, lots of stories and generally being a bit fussed over!
