Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,


Acute respiratory illness usually takes 3-5 days to resolve. Fever occurs usually with infection and takes time to be under control. Crocin contains paracetamol , ibugesic plus contains ibuprofen and paracetamol combination. It will difficult to monitor doses of paracetamol if giving doses like this . Better option will be to use tepid sponging to bring down fever. Or if using ibugesic plus (under guidance of your doctor ) , use that only , do not mix crocin and ibugesic plus.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions

Take care.
