Author of questionFather of a 5 yr old boy4 years agoA. Thank you for yr advice. You have mentioned paracetamol to be given, is it the same paracetamol 500mg that we take or is it different for a child.

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Fever is when the temperature of the body goes above 99 degree fahrenheit and the safest medicine in such situation is paracetamol which can be repeated after 6 hours again if required in a proper dose . Alternative medicine can also be tried if required like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid preparations.
cold sponging of the whole body with tap water can be beneficial too to bring the temperature doown .
