How To Treat My Daughter's High Fever?
Hello,
I have my daughter of 2 years old who has been having a fever of 40 ° C for about the whole day. We gave her PAracetamol 150g but it only brings down the fever about 1 ° for 2 hours, and the prescription tells us it can only be given again after 6 hours? She show no specific symptoms except that she has been having a strong cold for the past 3 days

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
For such possibly viral fever.Paracetamol @ 15 mg per kg 4 to 6 hourly is sufficient.
Tap water sponging vigorously and frequently helps a lot.
Take care of the hydration and nutrition of the baby.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
