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 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 beneeficial.
Urine output monitttoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Suggest with the age I would say 1ML to 1.5 ML you can give but rest would completely depend on the current weight gain of the child because the dosage of the medicine varies from childhood child depending upon the age and more over the weight of the child
