Child Given Paracetamol For Fever. History Of Seizures Due To High Fever. What Should Be The Dosage For Freezium To Be Given?
Hi.. My kid is 2.5 years old. He has fever from yesterday. Is it okay to give Alex P( paracetamol ) 5 ml? His weight is 11kgs. He has got cold too. Last year he got fits (seizures) due to high fever and doctor asked us to give Freezium 5mg every time hes got fever. I m not sure if I should go with Crocin/P250 or alex P. If P250, how may ml should I give?
Hello,
History noted. All the medicines you have mentioned has same basic medicine , paracetamol and the names indicate different brands. As told by your doctor, kindly use Frisium since it will prevent seizures. If P250, for his weight and age give 3.75ml, which is difficult to measure, so give 4ml four times a day. If the fever does not subside or frequency becomes more, take the kid to your paediatrician for examination and further work up. Dengue fever is more on the run now a days, hence take care.
Good day.
