Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For a child of 3 months to 1 year of age, a dose in between 60 mg and 120 mg that is 10-15 mg/kg (i.e., 2.5 mL to 5 mL of paracetamol liquid [oral suspension] at strength of 120 mg/5 mL) may be repeated every 4-6 hours to a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours.

8 kg -- 80-120 mg (3.5-5 mL)
10 kg -- 100-150 mg (4.5-6 mL)

Give tepid sponging as well.

Grocin is good, other brands of paracetamol like febrex plus can also be given in dose 5 mL; adol (acetaminophen) suppositories 125 mg can be used per rectum when fever is 100°F.

Wishing you and your baby a good health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Svetlana Shrivastva
