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 if needed .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedyg to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is alsoj beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Write Your Answer Here If it has been prescribed by the doctor then it is okay and if the fever has it been down in last three days also then you’ll have to just cross check with your doctor is it could be due to viral infection or anything else I can only give me an assurance for that
