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 mg / kg/ dohse. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bgath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

During the time of fever you should never use warm water it’s cold water that you have to use you have to do sponging with cold water I think this is where you are going wrong so I would advise you to start doing cold sponging that is going to be helpful as it is a very low grade temperature
