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 gjiven in a dose of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if nbeeded . 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. If the fever generally does not subside within three days completion then in that case it would be important to recheck with your doctor as it may be a viral infection or something or viral fever accordingly further medications can be suggested
