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 . Lukewarmcg sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also vbeneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. You can only go ahead with giving which ever paracetamol you are giving don’t give any antibiotic without consulting the doctor if the fever does not subside within maximum 72 hours of time then in that case if you need go ahead with a blood test
