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 . Initiallty 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. Adxequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. You will have to wait for at least minimum of six hours before you repeat the dosage of the fever medicine that you’re giving to the child and if the temperature is more than 101°F then you should go ahead we doing cold sponging as well
