Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Ideal recommended dosage by doctors is 15ml/kg. If the fever is above 100 then it is advisable to give paracetamol drops to your baby. Try giving a light sponge bath to reduce the intensity of the discomfort. Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Continue breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor for further advice.
