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 .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.

As of now I’m going to advise you to do cold sponging that is going to help introducing down the fever you can do it on the forehead as well as behind the knees of your child that’s going to help and if it’s happening every night for more than three days you may as well consult your doctor
