A. Calpol is completely fine as per the age and you continue with this medicine after six hours the basic rule with fever medicine is that you can give it up to 72 hours after every six hours gap still if the temperature does not come down then for further you have to check with your doctor right now I would also advised to do cold sponging the fever is not hi so don’t worry about it secondly that you can start with food only after completing the age of six months so you can start with dal rice water porridge khichadi mashed banana mashed potato dairy products fruits and vegetables and would amount of water
