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 sponge bath can be given as home remedygy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also bgeneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello dear parent! Try giving a dose of paracetamol drops to reduce the symptoms. Give your baby a light sponge bath twice a day. Consult your child’s doctor for advice. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating. Good luck and take care.
