A. whenever fever is not improving with paracetamol you will have to see if the dosage of the medicine is given according to the weight of the child or not and if the power of the paracetamol is proper. also if the medicine is older than one month after opening then better to buy a new dbottle. you have to give paracetamol and also do body sponge and keep the child in cotton clothes. after 2 hours of paracetamol if the fever is is not improving thenf you can go for higher medicines like ibugesic or meftal p. paracetamol can be given maximum four times per day.

A. You can repeat the medicine after every six hours if the temperature is rising because the nature of the fever is to repeat after 5 to 6 hours so you can continue with the medication and if the fever does not subside completely by the time of 72 hours and you’ll have to consult the doctor for further assessment
