Hi doctor,
My son is 1.4 years old. His weight is 27.7 pounds. He has been suffering from fever for the last 12 hours. His temperature came down, but not to the normal temperature. He was given only Paracetamol liquid solution three times. Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
For fever you can give Paracetamol syrup every six hourly (1.5 teaspoons of 120 mg per 0.17 fluid ounce solution).
If still the temperature is more than 100, then you can also sponge the baby with normal water in between. I advise you to visit a child specialist if,
Thank you
