Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years 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 repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .hrv
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Paracetamol drops can be given. Try giving a light sponge bath to reduce discomfort. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and seek further advice. Serve your child healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating.
