A. Fever is commonly seen in babies and mostly it's viral infection which is very common in children. But if fever is high grade and persisting or assosiated with specific symptoms than other causes should also be ruled out . Antipyretic like paracetamol or ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are usually given to reduce fever . Cold sponging with lukewarmb water is also helpful . hy Doctor consultation should be done if symptoms like excessive irritability dullness loss of appetite less urine output is there .

A. If the fever is going to last for more than three days then you’ll have to get a blood test done to know what kind of a fever it is it it could be due to some kind of a viral infection as well so just to be more sure about it I would recommend you to get a blood test done for the childWrite Your Answer Here
