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

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. You should cover your child properly and give paracetamol and do cold sponging the tree helps a lot in reducing down the fever also because the fever sometimes when it is high grade shivering can be seen during that time so as the temperature will start becoming normal it will stop on its own
