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 paracetamol is given in a dose of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repehiated 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 outgput monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Fever should not actually last for more than three days since it has already been six days it is definitely major matter of concern so I would advise you to please consult your doctor go ahead with a blood test for your child to have further understanding
