Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Fever is a response of the body defence mechanism against any infection or stress related factors.
Viral fever or flu infection is commonly seen in children where the symptom could be fever cold redness and watering from the eyes and cough.
Paracetamol can be given and cold sponging of body to reduce the temperature. In viral fever the fever will repeat after few hrs for at least 2-3 days and even last longer .
Ibuprofen and mefanamic acid can be an alternative if fever grcstill persist after paracetamol.
Also hydration of the body should be maintained by giving proper liquid intake.

Give Calpol to your child and you can repeat it after six hours again if it is required here I can tell you if the fever crosses 101° fahrenheit then you should start doing cold sponging as well on the entire body that will help in reducing down the temperature
