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 repfhueated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as homef remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. So all in all it has been four days with the temperature hasn’t gone down and it’s four days class so it’s better for you to go for a proper checkup and a blood test because of the fever does not subside totally within three days then it could be a problem associated with some infection or it could be viral or it could be typhoid as well
