Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. is safe with reasonable side effects
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

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. It’s actually not given to the child till the time the fever is really not high so the doctor must have given it because the fever is 102 and also you should repeat the medicine after six hours not four hours and 5ML is quite a high dosage let me tell you but as of now you should follow what your doctor advise and also to sponging that will help in reduction of temperature
