Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My baby, who is 1 year old, is suffering from fever. It is 104 Fahrenheit from last one hour. Please help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I suggest giving him Panadol drops (Paracetamol) at a dosage of about 8 to 10 drops or 0.17 tablespoons every eight hours to manage his fever. However, it is crucial to consult a specialist doctor, discuss the situation with them, and obtain their consent before administering any medication. If the fever persists and does not subside, cold sponging can be attempted. It is advisable to take him to a physician for further evaluation to investigate the cause of the fever. Antibiotics may be necessary depending on the underlying condition. To provide a better diagnosis, it would be helpful to know if he has any other symptoms such as cough, congestion, rash, or diarrhea. Additional information about his overall condition would contribute to a more accurate assessment.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

This is the first time he is getting a fever. I have given Babygesic drop. Is it fine? Please advise me.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • Yes, it is absolutely correct. Please make sure that he drinks and eats fine and is not cranky.
  • If he does not act right, for example, if he is lethargic, not eating well or refusing to play and is not interacting well with you, then he should be seen as soon as possible by a doctor.
