Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having fever in the night which seems to be due to viral infection and poor immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15mg/kg. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out underlying cause of fever weather bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can give paracetamol syrup for fever as well to child. Your child's symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should give child proper rest. You should them plenty of fluids to rehydrate. Do tepid sponging as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
