first of all never give any medicine to infants and children before consulting your doctor.In this case the child is suffering from a viral fever.ibugesic plus contains ibuprofen and paracetamol .ibuprofen is NSAID which should be avoided in viral infections cause it leads to bleeding under skin and other adverse reactions .plain paracetamol can be given but for the dosage its always better to consult a doctor before
