Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 mgyu / kg/ dose. Can bhe repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. It’s been already three days I suggest you to consult your paediatrician because in the fever does not subside within maximum of 72 hours it could be a viral or any other kind of fever so I am going to advise you to consult your doctor as of now along with medicine to cold sponging that should be helpful
