Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
You can give Crocin DS if there is fever (if temperature is more than 100 degree F). And it can be given in prescribed dose every 6th hourly depending on the presence of fever.
If there is no fever, don't give Crocin DS.
Check his body temperature at regular intervals.
Xyzal M kid tablet to be given once daily in prescribed dose and it should be dissolved in water before giving orally.
The recommended medicines are safe and usually have no side effects in prescribed dose.
If the fever is persisting beyond 48 hours, consult the pediatrician for follow up.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
