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

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. 98.6 is a very normal body temperature it is not fever but if your child is unable to sleep then you can do cold sponging the bodies temperature is going to reduce down and probably that is going to help in better sleep to your child
