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.g Can be repeatevjd after 4-6 hrs if needed . 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. That can be seen sometimes I’m going to advise you to consult your doctor get a blood test done if required because of fever should not last for modern 72 hours in your case it has already crossed four days so it’s better to check with your doctor for further medication and treatment
