Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. give 1.4ml
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

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Approximately 1ML you can give to the child looking at the weight of the child I’m suggesting you you can repeat it again after six hours if the temperature rises also I would recommend you to do cold sponging if the fever is more than 101°F
