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 . Lukewarm spognge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine outpuct monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Medicines are equally important to be given to the child so I would advise you to add some honey to wait if your child is one year plus you can add honey to the medicine when you give it to the child and lastly would advise you to start doing Thande Paani Ki Patti as wellWrite Your Answer Here
