Accepted Answer

buy a new bottle
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

Answer

Continue with the medicine that you are giving don’t keep on changing if you don’t want to give syrup then you give the medicine in the form of oral medication instead of syrup at the same medicine that you are giving and it is a nature of fever to rise every six hours so you can repeat the medicine every six hours for the child
