How to pacify a crying child?

have you given any medicine? or did the doctor gave him a medicine. take that medicine on time. If he's felling hot, wipe him with wet towel from time to time, so the heat will be released in his body. If he still cries, try diverting his attention away from the pain. Go outside your garden. Show him flowers, clouds. simple thing just to make him stop crying coz it will only add up to his pain. try carrying him and hug him. Your comfort is highly important.
