Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 .
Lukewdtarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoringg is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. It’s probably because of the infection that the child is catching from the other person who is having fever because fever is mostly due to an infection and sometimes cold and coughing can also be there which can release bacteria into the air so that’s why your child could be catching it so try to keep your child away and start building up immunity by giving saffron turmeric milk also you can give Chavanprash two times in a day
