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 .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be ghuiven . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is neucessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Medicines don’t help anything I would just say Raj should give more of juices and liquid Best diet to the child right now add some glucose into it because sometimes when you give the sings the rush of sugar into the body increases and that can lead to increment of appetite and reducing down this lethargic Na is in the body and also the child feels actually active after that and can eat well as well
