Hi doctor, my 8 y old son (wt 15 kg) is having fever 102-103 since yesterday afternoon. we have given him 1/2 crocin advanced tablet at the interval of ~ 8 h. also started zifi 100 mg DT since yesterday night ( at the interval of 12 h). But his temp is still 101-102. So we gave him meftal-p (5 mL) 5 min back. Anything else is required. Thanks in advance.

hi thanks for writing to us your child is having fever which is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days, continue with paracetamol every 4 to 6 hourly and continue with meftal p 2 to 3 times. Give plenty of fluids and do tepid sponging in case fever is above 102. in case fever persist after 48 hour I suggest you to get him examined by pediatrician so as to ascertain cause and treat accordingly.
