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

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. it is very normal for small children to have slightly warm/hot head palms and soles but if the growth of the child is proper no need to worry about the warm head palm and soles.
you have to consdider it as fever only if the temperature in the armpit is 100f or more.
the warm head palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas which is normal.
