Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. continue paracetamol only.
for fever as well as pain kindly give paracetamol according to the weight of child as well as according to the power of paracetamol medicine you are having and paracetamol can be given maximum 4 times per day and also do body sponge to decrease the surface temperature.
also when u take temperature in the armpit of the child and it is 100 or more then only consider it as fever and give paracetamol.
higher medicines for fever like ibugesic and mefenamic has to be given only after medical consultation.
after giving fever medicines you can wait for maximum 3 days and then meet your doctor if it is not improving. keep the child in cool atmosphere

consecutive paracetamol dosages must have gap of atleast four hours.
so please don't self diagnose or self medicate
please consult your doctor
please keep her well hydrated to reduce and control fever
you may use wet salt water bands (patti) at her head
