Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years 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 .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given .
Lukewguarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. Mix about two tablespoons of ginger powder in lukewarm water that fills your baby tub. Give your child a standard 10-minute bath in this water. The ginger helps induce sweating, which flushes out impurities. This is one of the most effective home remedies forviral fever in infants
