Q.

#AskTheExpert my 17 month old baby is having fever but I'm not able to make him swallow fever medicine (sumol syrup) prescribed by doc. He always spits the medicine out of his mouth and cries. Is there any alternate sweet fever reducing medicine?

A. fever is the response of the body towards any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is called as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose which can be again repeated after every 5 - 6 hours if required and do cuyrold sponging of the body to reduce fever in between the doses.
