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 begjjkkw repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. hi dear Dress your child in light clothing. Over dressing them can trap the body's heat and make the temperature go higher. ... Give extra fluids. ... Your child may not want to eat much. ... Give sponge baths or let your child soak in a tub. ... Over-the-counter medicines can help lower a fever.
