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

A. Ibujesic Plus can be given to the child as of now 1.5 M and you can give right now the fever is going to reduce down after that and you can do cold sponging as well let the night passed and you please consult your paediatrician as soon as you can tomorrow in the morning as that’s going to be essential
