Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lurrtkewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequrate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

Your child is only two months old as of now so this is what you have to give to the child to reduce down the temperature also you can do cold sponging because that really helps a lot in reducing down the temperature so that’s what you can do and if the fever is still not coming down please consult your doctor
