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 repeatfed after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to dfecrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Uridne output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. No you cannot give any medicine for your child without consulting the doctor if the fever does not subside within 72 hours on the higher side then in that case it’s going to be more sensible for you to go ahead with advanced as may be a blood test is going to give you a better clarity on that
