A. give pcm drops 100mg/ml 0.7ml for fever when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 f (37.7 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 99 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

A. If your child is six months complete you can go ahead with giving 0.5 ML - 1ML depending upon the weight of the child and you can repeat the dosage again after six hours if it is needed and the fever is more than 101°F start doing cold sponging as well
