Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. it is very common that during the illness the child will not take food.
give small amount of easily digestible food to the child
many times if you take the child in garden or open area that will cheer up the child and that might improve the appetite
give regular water and fluids to thxe child to improve hydration because that will also improve appetite
you can give fruits as well as juices from the fruits which axgain acts as appetizer
during illness if the child takes 60% to 70% of the diet then also it's fine

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 drtyose 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.
Aderquate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
