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 repeated aftertyy 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.

This is basically called growth pain which is extremely common with kids in this age but apart from that you should take care of the deficiencies that your child could be having which is vitamin D3 B12 and calcium that is also common in this age so it’s going to be better to discuss it with your paediatrician and if required start with supplements and massage the legs of your child in the night with mustard oil
