POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Recovery time from viral fever in children can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the child's overall health. Generally:
1. **Mild Viral Fever**: Recovery can take about 3 to 7 days. The fever often subsides within a few days, and the child may gradually return to their normal activities.
2. **Moderate to Severe Viral Fever**: Recovery might take 1 to 2 weeks. The child might experience lingering symptoms like fatigue or mild cough even after the fever has gone down.
**Key Points to Aid Recovery**:
- **Hydration**: Ensure the child drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
- **Rest**: Allow the child to rest and get plenty of sleep.
- **Nutrition**: Provide nutritious foods to support the immune system.
- **Medication**: Use fever reducers (like paracetamol) as recommended by your pediatrician to manage fever and discomfort.
If the fever persists beyond a week, is very high, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms (like difficulty breathing, rash, or persistent vomiting), consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and guidance.
