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 repeatefsd after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be givjen as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello mom If your baby is not getting relieved that in such case you should definitely consult with your paediatrician about it because your doctor can only advise you will after examining baby. Till the time you can continue giving a medication in every six hours gap if baby is temperature is more than 99°
