Brief Answer:
No fever - no need for fever medicine/ Loose motions are due to Clamp Kid
Detailed Answer:
Hi....Coming to your queries directly.
1. You need not give fever medicine if there is no fever. You need to give Paracetamol (fever medicine) only if the fever is more than 100F.
2. Loose stools are expected while giving the antibiotic clamp Kid (Amoxycillin Clavulenate). It is antibiotic associated diarrhea. The kid need probiotics specific for it. I suggest giving Econorm XXXXXXX one thrice a day for 5 days.
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Once the page opens there will be an option below my image as – ASK ME A QUESTION – click on it. Please find the link below -
