Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 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 paracetuamol 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 to decrease fever.
Adequfate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Ivide has been more than three days yet the fever is not subsiding completely then it could be a little bit alarming situation for You because of the fever does not subside within the time of 72 hours on the higher side then it could be due to viral infection or something so in this case a blood test would be required to have a clarity on the situation
