Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. 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 .other medicine like mefenamic acid ibuprofen can also be given .
Lukewarm sponge bath can beioo given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine ougtput monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 7 m old boy2 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Give 0.5 ml for now. As fever is above 100 it is advisable to check with a nearby doctor for a personal evaluation and advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene and follow your doctor’s advice. Keep Babyhug medicine dropper handy for correct dosages
