Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years 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 .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy tog decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is alsooo beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

Sonam PrasadMom of 2 children3 years agoA. hi dear Avoid using cold water, as this can lead to shivering, which may increase their temperature. Dry your baby off immediately following the bath and dress them in lightweight clothing. Alcohol baths or wipes to lower fevers aren't recommended and can be harmful.
