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 .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is als cho beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there, Ma’am, please do not worry about it too much. It is normal in babies to have warm forehead and palms and feet as a baby undergoes hormonal changes. Please massage baby with coconut oil and almond oil. Please use Sebamed soap to bathe the baby. Also use a good brand moisturiser for the baby.
Thanks and take care
