What temperature is a fever in children?
A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher is a fever in children. Most fevers are caused by viral infections and settle within 3–4 days. See a pediatrician urgently if your child is under 3 months old, the fever crosses 104°F, lasts beyond 3 days, or your child is unusually drowsy or breathing fast.

Targeted tests only when needed
For high or persistent fever, we test for dengue, typhoid or urine infection based on findings, never as a routine panel.
Right medicine, right dose
Fever medicine is dosed by your child's weight, not age. We give you a written dose chart to take home.

Parent stories
What families say
“Our son was not saying a single word at 2.5. Within four months at Siraa he was putting two and three words together. The parent coaching made the biggest difference.”

“We were told to wait and see. We did not, and I am so glad. The therapist identified exactly what was holding him back. Six months later he is chatting non-stop.”

“What sets Siraa apart is that they treat you as a partner, not just a parent dropping off a child. Every session I left feeling more capable and less worried.”

Questions
What parents usually ask us
How long does viral fever last in kids?+
Most viral fevers in children last 3–4 days. The fever may spike and fall in cycles, which is normal. If fever persists beyond 3 days, is very high, or your child seems unusually unwell, see a pediatrician to rule out dengue, typhoid or a bacterial infection.
Should I alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen?+
Not routinely. Alternating increases the risk of dosing errors. Paracetamol alone, dosed correctly by weight, controls most fevers. Use combinations only if your pediatrician specifically advises it for your child.
Can teething cause fever?+
Teething can cause a slightly raised temperature, but it does not cause true fever above 100.4°F (38°C). If your teething baby has a real fever, assume an infection and treat it as such.
Can I bathe my child during fever?+
Yes. A lukewarm bath or sponge can make your child more comfortable. Avoid cold water — it causes shivering, which actually raises body temperature.
What should my child eat during fever?+
Offer light, easy foods — dal, khichdi, curd rice, fruit, soups — and plenty of fluids. Don't force food; a reduced appetite for a few days is normal and recovers on its own.
When is a fever an emergency?+
Any fever in a baby under 3 months, fever above 104°F, a seizure, stiff neck, breathing difficulty, a non-blanching rash, or a child who is very drowsy or not drinking — these need a doctor immediately.
