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. uii
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. No you need to continue with only same paracetamol that you’re giving is the fever in coming down maybe the dosage is not correct so what you do is you start doing cold sponging on the forehead and behind the knees of your child that helps a lot breaking the temperature
