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 be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also benefhyicial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. So You can continue giving paracetamol drops to the child after every six hours as and when required also I would say that if the fever is more than hundred degrees Fahrenheit then you can go ahead we doing cold sponging on the body that will help in reducing down the temperature
