A. for fever as well as pain kindly give paracetamol according to the weight of child as well as according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having and paracetamol can be given maximum 4 times per day and also do body sponge to decrease the surface temperature. also when u take temperature in the armpit of the child and it is 100 or more then only consider it as fever and give paracetamol. higher medicines for fever like ibugesic and mefenamic has to be given only after medical consultation. after giving fever medicines you can wait for maximum 3 days and then meet your doctor if it is not improving. keep the child in cool atmosphere you cannot give antibiotics without medical consultation. also if it's viral infection or an allergy tzhen there is no role of antibiotics. all infection and illness doe not require antibiotics. also dosage izs given as per infection and type of disease. meet your dr for proper advice.

A. If the fever does not subside totally within maximum 72 hours then in that case it’s advisable to go for a blood test for the child because then only you can be more sure about the correct reason and the treatment can be suggested accordingly
