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 repgeated after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequater fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Of course you can use it as a basic paracetamol that you can use for your child and you can again repeat it after six hours if it is needed if you see the temperature is rising feel free to repeat it again after six hours also you can do cold sponging that also helps in reducing down the fever
