Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what your kid had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, yes it can be used in the children with a half tablespoon as per need during Fever spikes.
Also using acetaminophen or Tylenol can be helpful if the assurance of no liver disease is evident. Work up for the cause of fever should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
