A. the dose of paracetamol is dependent on the body weight of the child and the dose is 15 mg per kg .but I would not suggest self medication for such a small child as self medicating such a small child may be harmful

A. It should be according to the weight of the baby. In fever, you should give plenty of liquids to the baby, in infants keep feeding the baby and after six months give other liquids as well. Give light and easily digestible foods. Give paracetamol drops dose according to the weight of the baby. Repeat the fuse after six hours. Check pee count of the baby, it should be more then six times. If fever remains fir more than 3 days then consult your paediatrician
