Suggest Treatment For Fever In An Infant
My son is 3 yrs and 7 month old. He started having fever around 2 pm so I gave him Paracetamol syrup. But the fever came again around 6pm which is higher than before to 102.8°F axillary. Repeated the PCM syrup. I gave him tepid sponging and by 11 pm repeated the dose. But after every 3 hour, fever arises again and lastly gave him 5 ml of Metal P. Is it okay ? What could be the cause of sudden fever which is so high.

Hi dear thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic!!
Complains is highly suggestive of viral fever for that please follow this advises
1) Syp Amoxicillin and clavulinic acid will help
2) Syp Domstal will also help to prevent gastric troubles
3) Continue using Syp Meftal P as prescribed.
4) Cold water sponge with salt will also help
5) give him proper fluids, vital Z powder will help
