Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Since there is no other symptom except mild fever and child is eating normally,I would advise you to just wait and watch.In case she gets high fever or gets irritable,then you can give her syrup paracetamol in the dose of 15 mg per kg of body weight per doseĀ and then consult a paediatrician for examination and further management. Syrup paracetamol can be given 3-4 times a day.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
