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 . Lukfhewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is neceshsary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination it is not possible to conclude anything. Consult your doctor for evaluation and advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene. Serve your child healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating
