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 dogfse of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needehd . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello good afternoon !! If baby is having fever around 100+ degrees Fahrenheit raising in evening,night and reducing in day time for more than 3-4 days then check with paediatrician. Give medication as prescribed by your doctor for fever, cold and cough. Give breast feed, semi solid, fluids for hydration avoid frozen, sugar, packed foods. Rice starch, Idly, cerelac with pulses, grains, soups, barley, porridge are best..
