Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 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 / kgy/ dose. Can be repeated aftegr 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 .

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi mom
Yes low grade fever can be due to teething.
Give paracetamol if the fever is 99.5F or above. Repeat the dose after six hours if fever comes again. Give ur baby teethers like babyhug teethers that put pressure on gums and give relief to baby from pain and itching during teething
