A. if the weight of the child is more than 30kg then can give paracetamol 500mg when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given. along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

A. for a 7 year old child taking a tablet can be difficult as it can be choaking for the child and it may not be able to take the tablet so would be better to give syrup for the child and in regards the dosage it would be better to check with your doctor she can guide you accordingly
