A. Fever is the illness caused by reaction 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 in between the doses ,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 ache to a good extent. but in case of infection in which thely fever is associated with otjher problems also it is recommended to get the clinical assessmentn done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.

A. Its Going to be one ML or 10 drops what ever you are most conveniently can give so you want you can continue with this medicine right now and you can repeat the dosage after six hours if it is needed and if the fever increases or if you’re giving it for any other reason then you can consult your doctor again for that
