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 ocjuf 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 also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Sometimes when the fever is really high shivering can be seen so if there is no fever it’s okay but if it’s only shivering then you cover your child well with proper clothes and blanket so that your child doesn’t feel more of shivering and if there is fever then you can get paracetamol again and kindly check with your doctor tomorrow
