Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Fever is a response of the body to any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body and only when the temperature is above 99F it is considered as fever, so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment this dose can be again repeated after every 5 to 6 hours if again required and you can also do cold sponging of the body to reduce fever,but if it continues further you should consult your doctor for proper treatment. if the temperature is not controlled by paracetamol alone meftal p can be given in between as a single dose but only under medical guidance.these medicines will also work to relieve any pain or body aaseche to a good extent. but in case of infection in which the fever is associated with other problems also it is recommended to get the clinical examination done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.

as per my opinion, if your child looks happy and active,eat and sleep well then no need to worry and no need of extra medicines.
and please don't self medicate your child.
it can be harmful.
antibiotics can only be given only after consulting with pediatrician.
