Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your 10 year old child is suffering from fever which could be due to bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry about it. You can give crocin syrup 5ml 4-5 times a day depending upon fever. Monitor dosage for child. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Use mist humidifiers in room. Visit pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting. You should keep child dehydrated always. You can give child fevago also which contains paracetamol and is essential to bring down the temperature. Avoid giving spicy and sharp food to child. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
