A. it is important to give easily digestible food like rice dal and khichdi curd buttermilk apple banana and give only very small amount of milk otherwise it can cause acidity and give seasonal fruits as well as juices from the fruits and this will help in improving the immunity. after 3 to 4 days when the child is able to digest food than you can go for slightly hexavier diet. try to give more fluids and water to maintain urine output of at least 6 to 7 times per day

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 repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid ingtake is also bjeneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
