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 repeatedc after 4-6 hrs if needed .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given .
