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 off 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed . Lukefwarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydration .

A. Hello mom You should give 5ML at a time according to babies weight. A repeat the medicine as advised by the doctor. If baby is temperature is more than 99° then only you have to give medication otherwise there is no need. And you can repeat the medication in every six hours gap.
