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 of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeathied after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also benheficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello dear parent! Get your baby personally examined by the doctor and seek further advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene and follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Continue feeding your baby well on demand. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil
