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/ doshe. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adefquate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. You continue with the same medicine for the night if it is needed but consult your doctor tomorrow because it a fever last for more than three days then it could be viral infection or fever also you have mentioned the temperature of the child so it’s difficult to help me on that
