A. For a 7-year-old with viral fever, it’s important to follow proper timing and dosage when giving fever-reducing medications like Crocin (paracetamol). Here’s what to keep in mind: 1. Dosage Timing: Crocin (paracetamol) should typically be given every 4 to 6 hours as needed for fever, but not more than 4 times in 24 hours. Since it has only been 3.5 hours, it’s better to wait a bit longer before giving the next dose. 2. Managing Fever Discomfort: If he’s feeling cold, cover him with a light blanket, but avoid heavy clothing or multiple blankets, as they can trap heat and raise his body temperature further. 3. Alternative Options for Comfort: Tepid Sponging: Use a lukewarm sponge bath to help reduce the fever. Avoid using cold water, as it can make him feel colder and shiver, which could increase his temperature. Hydration: Make sure he drinks plenty of fluids, as staying hydrated can help his body manage the fever. 4. Consulting a Doctor: If his fever persists or keeps returning frequently, or if he shows any other concerning symptoms, consider consulting your pediatrician for further guidance. Keeping his comfort in mind and watching his symptoms closely can help you manage the fever without excessive medication.
