hi

thanks for writing to health care magic

it is just not sufficient if you know the dosage of those two drugs

first we will have to find out the cause of fever

with out knowing the basic cause continuation with self medication would be dangerous

is he having cold or cough.... is there any burning urination......or child crying while passing urine.......is there any rash associated.............answers to such questions along with complete examination can help in diagnosis.

its safe to use medication only after a proper diagnosis is made

hope this helps

take care
