My baby has fever even after giving Paracetamol. Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. You can continue giving the Paracetamol syrup, every four to six hours if there is a fever. It will take an hour or two for the temperature to normalize. If fever is nearing 102 F, give Ibuprofen.
2. It is most likely to be a viral fever. So, if the baby is active, you can wait for two days. If you notice any new symptoms, or if the fever persists beyond 48 hours, then consult his pediatrician.
3. Also, if the temperature is more than 101 F on more than two different spikes, the baby will need a detailed physical check up.

In the follow-up query, please tell me more about his feeding, activities, vomiting and if his urine and stools are normal.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. It seems like a viral fever, which usually takes three to five days to resolve.
2. Continue the Paracetamol and Sinarest nasal drops (combination of Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, and Pseudoephedrine) and observe for 48 hours. If the fever persists or worsens, consult his pediatrician.
