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 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 e

A. Fever in children can be caused by various factors, most commonly infections. If your daughter's fever keeps recurring despite taking paracetamol, here are a few steps you can take: 1. **Monitor Temperature**: Keep a record of her temperature and how often it spikes. 2. **Hydration**: Ensure she drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. 3. **Rest**: Encourage her to rest as much as possible. 4. **Appropriate Dosing**: Ensure you are giving the correct dosage of paracetamol based on her weight and age. Follow the instructions on the packaging or your doctor's advice. 5. **Comfort Measures**: Use lukewarm sponge baths or a cool, damp cloth on her forehead to help reduce the fever. ### When to Seek Medical Attention: 1. **Persistent Fever**: If the fever persists for more than 48 hours. 2. **High Fever**: If her temperature is consistently above 39°C (102.2°F). 3. **Other Symptoms**: If she develops other symptoms like difficulty breathing, rash, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, severe headache, or lethargy. 4. **Dehydration**: Signs include dry mouth, no tears when crying, or fewer wet diapers. It's always best to consult a pediatrician if you have any concerns about her fever or overall health. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
