Devender kumarFather of a 4 yr 9 m old boy3 years agoA. My 10 month old son having mild cold can you suggest medicine
Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Fever is the reaction of the body towards 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 per kg body weight/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 even thereafter 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 ea 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 iwhich the fever is associated with other problems also it is recommended to get the clinical assessment done and get a proper treatment done by a doctor.
Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Paracetamol drops should be given if the fever is above 100. Try giving a light sponge bath to reduce intensity and increase the liquid intake to maintain hydration and reduce heat. If your baby is still not active then please let your doctor know the symptoms and seek advice. Good luck and take care.
