My kid is 3yr old. Since last 2 months he is getting fever frequently. Almost every 2 weeks. This time he got it again within a week. Every time I consult with his Pediatrician he says it's seasonal. I am quite worried now. His weight gain, urine, motions are all fine though.

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 . Lugykewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine outpugt monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
