A. 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 . Lukewarmg sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also benefihcial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. So you can start doing Thande Pani Ki Patti as well that really helps a lot in reducing down the temperature that’s one of the best options that you can go ahead with doing as of now it’s quite proven otherwise you can give a bath to their child immediately with normal water that is also going to help in reducing Da temperature
