Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year agoA. 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 .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. 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
