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

A. hello it can take around 5 days or 7 days sometimes for the child to get relief from the fever and complete the antibiotics 5 days and there is no improvement then it would be better to check with your doctor and she will be able to guide you accordingly
