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 intvuake is alsog beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy1 Year agoA. Usually, the viral fever lasts for 3-5 days, with a few symptoms resolving in another couple of days. However, for some of the viruses, the cycle could be long, and it might take up to 2 weeks for the viral fever to subside. However, if the symptoms persist even after two weeks, you should consult a doctor.
