Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, paracetamol can be given along with anti Malarial drug.
It is not having any drug interactions with anti Malarial drugs. So it is safe. No need to worry for this.
Fever is very common in first 1-2 days of malaria.
And paracetamol is the drug of choice for this.
For your 4 year old child, give paracetamol syrup 1 tsf (tea spoon full) thrice daily with water.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
