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 repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Atdequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output gmonitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. hello actually firstly no self medication is recommended at all and also frequently check the temperature of the baby and if the doctor has prescribed earlier like the periodic fever syrup like crocin you can use that if the temperature is very high then better to check with your doctor
