A. 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 iit 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

A. Check the temperature with a digital or mercury thermometer. Keep it under the baby's arm pit and wait for a minute. Now look at the temperature. If the temperature is above 99 degree Fahrenheit then you should give paracetamol syrup prescribed by your pediatrician. Follow the same dosage mentioned by the doctor. Keep watching the baby and measure temperature every four hours. Paracetamol can be given once in every six hours. If the fever raises above 101 and stays at high temperatures for more than a day, you should consult your pediatrician. For high temperatures, give warm water dipped towel bath to reduce the temperature. Keep the baby hydrated. Don't cover the baby with heavy clothes. Keep the baby in a well ventilated room.
