What to Do If a Baby Has a Fever That Does Not Subside for Several Days

Question

What should I do if my child has a fever that does not subside for several days?

Answer

If a child has a fever that lasts for more than one or two days without any other symptoms, you can give them fever-reducing medication at home. If they also have symptoms like coughing, diarrhea, or an abnormal mental state, you should seek medical attention immediately. The primary task in managing a fever is to observe the duration of the fever and whether there are any associated complications.
