Accepted Answer

Now three days have been completed in the fever is still not coming down you have to go for further assessment with your doctor it could be viral typhoid or any other kind of fever currently I’m going to advise you to continue with medicine and start doing cold sponging that’s going to help in reducing down the temperature temperature

Answer

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 ymg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarmc 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 .
