Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Fever is reaction in 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/kg/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 a 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 which the fever is associated with other problems also it is recommended to get the ofclinical 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! Immediately give a single dose of paracetamol drops to reduce the discomfort. If the fever is persistent and above 100 consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Good luck and take care.
