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 after 4-6 hrs if needed .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. 3ml is quite less if you are giving DS version of the medicine then you should check the bottle it is going to be as per the current weight of your child so kindly go ahead with giving medicine that way and also do Thande Paani Ki Patti still if the fever subside within maximum three days and you need to consult your doctor for further assistance
