Hi,
Crocin is used to decrease elevated temperature and as a pain killer for body pain so continue on the crocin as long as she has fever or body pain. Crocin can not be used as prophylaxis from fever which means it won't prevent the occurrence of fever, it only decreases elevated body temperature as for the diet a 4 years old child. You should offer 5 meals a day that contains vegetables, fruits, dairy products, carbohydrates and protein. A 4 years old is supposed to eat all kinds of food except if the child has a specific food allergy make sure the child is adequately dehydrated with at least 2 cups of milk and 4 cups of water or juices.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
