Can Windose Syrup Be Given For Fever In An Infant?

My living area temperature between 40 to 44 Celsius. Sir Pl guide me, thank you sir
Brief Answer:
Give p125 and hold windose
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The dose of P 125 is 10-15 ml/kg/dose for any infant. So, you need to give atleast 5 ml of syrup for every dose if your baby is around 8-10 kg. Repeat the dose every 6-8 hours if fever persists or recurs. Hopefully the correct dose will bring down his temperature to normal range and you will not need any second medicine.
I will not recommend you to give Syp. Windose to infants.
If fever persists for more than 3 days or its associated with any other symptoms, then investigating the child for bacterial infection is advisable.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Windose is not a recommended drug for this age group
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Windose is not a recommended drug for kids and infants. So avoid it's use. You may give Syp. Meftal P if the spikes are more than 102 and non responsive to P125.
Although most common reason for fever in this age group are viral in origin but it's important to rule out bacterial infection if the fever is high grade even after 3 days of illness or its associated with other signs of infection such as congested throat, bladder or bowel disturbances, change in sensorium etc. A good clinical examination by an expert pediatrician is useful. You may send me her complete history with attached images and reports if done for review.
Ensure regular feeds such as breastfeeding, formula feeds, semisolid complementary diet, juices in small quantities at frequent intervals to keep her well hydrated.
