A. the first medicine will always be paracetamol and it is given according to weight and power of paracetamol medicine you are having. give liquids and easily digestible food and paracetamol should be given only after food. keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fever to body sponge to decrease the surface temperature and should be carriced out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. higher medicines (ibugesic / meftal-p) whether required or not will be told by the doctor.

A. Fever can last up to 3 days the fever doesn’t subside within the time of 72 hours then you can go ahead with further assessment with your doctor as of now you should continue with the medicine that you are giving and you can repeat it again after six hours and check the dosage of the medicine that I hope you’re giving correct dosage because it is more on the current weight of your child other than the age of the child
