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 .

Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.

Well there is no home remedy and search for that if you want you can mostly go ahead with giving indirect steam to the child and that is what is going to be helpful in reduction of the problem for the more you should just continue with the medicine suggested by the doctor
