POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. If your daughter has a fever that is not responding to paracetamol (P120 oral suspension), it's important to take the following steps:
1. Monitor Temperature: Keep an eye on her temperature regularly. If it stays high (above 101°F or 38.3°C) for more than 3 days or reaches 104°F (40°C) or higher, seek medical attention.
2. Hydration: Ensure she stays hydrated by offering plenty of fluids like water, diluted fruit juices, or oral rehydration solutions.
3. Cool Compresses: You can apply a cool, damp washcloth to her forehead, or give her a lukewarm sponge bath to help lower her temperature.
4. Medication Review: If she is still uncomfortable and the fever persists, you might consider alternating with ibuprofen (if she is at least 6 months old) along with paracetamol, but ensure you follow the correct dosing guidelines based on her weight and age. Do not give aspirin to children, as it can lead to Reye's syndrome.
5. Consult a Doctor: If the fever continues despite medication, or if she exhibits other concerning symptoms (such as rash, difficulty breathing, lethargy, persistent vomiting, or if she seems unusually irritable), it’s essential to consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
Always consult with your healthcare provider before giving any new medication or changing treatment plans, especially for young children.
