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 hrgus if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. h
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

Fever mostly is due to an infection maybe there’s some infection in the body of the child that is why the fever may have come and sometimes when the child is excessively tired that time also fever can come so either of the two could be a reason with your child
