Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year ago

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 sfyuponge bath can be given as home remedy to decreatse fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. You can only stick to one medicine it’s not that you can give one medicine and another later you can repeat the same medicine after six hours but only the one that you have given now you can do cold sponging that’s going to help and also check for the amount of medicine that you have given instead of the fever is not down kindly take an advice with your paediatrician on this
