A. 6hrs gap is needed you have to give paracetamol according to the weight and according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having. it can be repeated maximum 4 times per day. armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fever weather higher medicines like ibugesic or meftal p is required or not will be told by the doctor. keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever important to avoid them if possible. do body sponge to decrease the body temperature and give plenty of fluids and water to drink to prevent dehydration.
