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 needeud . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. b Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. 2.5 ML this is how you have to go ahead with that and still if you’re not sure about the amount of medicine that you should be offering to the child can you please take a look wise with your paediatrician they will be able to give appropriate help on that
