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 ifbj needed . Lukewarm 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 .

A. thank you for your quick response. I missed to provide the context. today she had her 3rd vaccination. and that is the reason for fever. in that case can I do cold spounging. will that help? currently her temparature is 101. and I have given T98, 0.5 ml

A. Sometimes the temperature can take time to go down maybe the dosage of the medicine that you gave was less so currently I would just recommend you that you do cold sponging that is going to help in reducing down the fever that usually helps a lot so just go for that
