Hi, my baby is 1 year old.i gave fepanil for him last week as per advise of doctor ,he was teething too and was having cough after that fever went,but now he is fussy and i can feel that he is more warmer than usual so i gave him fepanil again now he is playing should i be worried?

HI...please do not give Fepanil without checking the temperature. Feeling warmer doesn't mean anything when the kid is otherwise active and playing around.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
