Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.
along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes.
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day
you have to give paracetamol for fever as well as pain according to the weight of the child as well as according to the strength of paracetamol medicine you are having.
there are different strength of paracetamol available in the market that is it may be in the drops formulation which might be having power of 100 mg or or 125 mg or 150 mg in each 1ml.
in syrup formulation paracetamol has gots different powers like 120/ 25mg and 240/ 250 mg in each 5ml.
so the doctor will calculate the dosage according to the power and weight of the child.
paracetamol can be given max 4 times per day

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 7 m old boy2 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination, it is not possible to understand the underlying symptoms causing the fever in your baby. Get your child personally examined by the paediatrician and seek further advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene and follow your doctors advise diligently
