Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years 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/ dose. Can be repeatfded after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge ybath 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 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. Approximately 2.5 this is actually not fever this is under 99°F so I would not say the that it is not fever we were yet if you want to go ahead with medication when you decide whether you actually wanna go for it or not but 2.5 ML would be good enough when you want to give it
