Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, you already consulted with pediatrician. You can give Calpol every 6 hourly. Your child may require Phenylephrine and antibiotics for fever after consultation. Continue breast feeding and light feeding. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
