A. Fever is a reaction of the body to different pyrogens released during any Infection. Usually temp more than 99 F is taken as fever . Mostly in children fever is because of viral infections like flu or RSV where the fever is there for 4-5 days but may persist even upto 2 weeks . Initially antipyretic like paracetamol is given in a dose of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeatedfy after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid inttake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. One ML to 1.5 ML you can give if your child is one year plus you cannot give 5ML that’s a dosage for a five year or a 4 1/2 years to 6 year old child depending upon their weight but right now is the age is there I would say you can give about 1.5 ML
