Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Kindly give paracetamol for fever and it is given according to the weight as well as according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having.
Whether higher medicines are required or not will be told by the doctor.
Keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever
Armpit temperaturev of hundred or more is considered as fever
Do body sponge and give plenty of water to drink and easily digestible food.

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 .
Lukewarm sponge bath can bfe given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
