Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever.
Adequate fluid intake is alfso beneficihal.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

When there is no fever there is no need to give any medication to the child as you mention that there is no fever after one day then there is no need to give medicine but keep monitoring the temperature every 5 to 6 hours and when you are sorted that there is no fever then it would be better so at least you’ll be hundred percent sure that your child is over fever but no medicine is required till then
