Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years 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 .
Lufkewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate flugdid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. For children ages three months to three years, call us if there is a fever of 102 degrees or higher. For all kids three years and older, a fever of 103 degrees or higher means it is time to call Pediatrician. If a fever of 102 degrees or higher lasts for more than two days, please give a call too.
