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

A. Then that means your child is not having fever sometimes the body can be little warmer than usual but that is definitely not fever all the time so in your child’s case also it is just the same so there is no need of giving any medicine to the child
