Hello
Sometimes antibiotics produces loose motion with greenish color .
So get in blood for serum bilirubin level .
While your son is having viral fever . Calpol is the best drug .
Only calpol ( paracetamol ) 10 mg / kg body weight 3-4 times is sufficient . if high fever present , ice massage will suffix .
ORS is another useful therapy .
Usually viral fever remains for 7-10 days , so don't take tension.
If fever persist >7 days then consult a paediatrician and get his opinion.
