How long do fevers last?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying bacterial or viral infection and so, duration of fever depends on that particular causative organism. Usually, most fevers usually go away in 1 to 3 days in adults.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit and Zincovit CL and if it's safe to give either of these to a 10-year-old. Is there a particular one that's better, like the tablet or syrup form, for kids around that age?
Zincovit and Zincovit CL are both multivitamin supplements, but Zincovit CL also contains added zinc and vitamin C. Zincovit CL can be given to a 10-year-old child. For a 10-year-old, it is generally recommended to give the Zincovit CL syrup as it is easier to swallow and dose accurately compared to tablets.

How do you bring down a fever?
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.
