High fever is very dangerous for the brain of children and specially during any viral illness, fever tends to shoot up very fast. There is a risk that child may get febrile convulsion. Hence, most doctors prefer to prescribe medicines reducing fever round-the-clock for atleast few days(as per the expected days of recovery) irrespective of child having fever or not just to make sure that the child doesnot get febrile convulsions.
