How To Treat Fever In A 2 1/2 Year Sold Child?
I stay in South Africa and I have a two and a half year old boy with a fever. The pharmacist gave me Ponstan 50mg suspension syrup to control the fever. After reading the leaflet it doesn't mention anything about fever. Will Ponstan bring my boys fever down?

hi
thanks for your question.
ponstan is an antiinflammatory medication that should help bring your child's temperature down. it is not the first line treatment for this condition, most people would us Advil / ibuprofen and or Tylenol acetaminophen. tepid baths and undressing your child can also help with fever.
best wishes
