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 fevger.
Adequate fluid intake isfr also beneficial.
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Five drops you can give then you can repeat it again after six hours if you would want as the temperature if it rises then you can repeat the medication again so five drops is going to be the right amount of medicine to be given one time
