A. Hello, your baby boy is 15 months old and he is getting a fever at fixed time intervals so get his Hb done and then give him iron medicine and vitamin b12 syrup

A. Fever is when the temperature of the body goes above 99 degree fahrenheit and the safest medicine in such situation is paracetamol which can be repeated after 6 hours again if required in a proper dose . Alternative medicgcine can also be tried if required like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations. cold sponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature down .
