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 sponge bath can be given as home remedy tcgo decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitorinfg is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. It’s a normal fever then probably 72 hours and if it is like a viral fever or any other kind of a fever then it can easily take about 5 to 7 days so let’s hope it is fine in three days otherwise you may have to recheck with your doctor
