Q.

My son is 2 year 7 months old. because of fever back to back, due to seasonal changes and the play school, he has reduced his weight drastically. Already the weight was less than 11.5 kg (2 months back) and now it's less than 10.5 kg. What sort of healthy food should I give him to increase the weight? he is otherwise very active.

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 bde carried out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. Higher medicines whether required or not will be told by the doctor.
