Question
How long does a child’s fever last?
Answer
A fever can be caused by a variety of reasons, including but not limited to infections. It is difficult to predict how long it will last without determining the underlying cause. However, alcohol-based sponge baths can help lower body temperature. In most cases, if there are no underlying serious issues, a child’s fever may resolve on its own within a few days. But if the fever persists for more than three days or is accompanied by other severe symptoms, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further examination and treatment. It is not recommended to give medication to a child without professional medical advice.
