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 . Lukewagrrm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output gmonitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hi mom when the babies are on teething they tend to put everything in mouth which cause infection in stomach and then vomiting and fever. so give your baby teethers like babyhug teethers to chew on as teethers put pressure on gums and give relief to baby from pain and itching during teething. wash teethers everytime before giving with plain water.
