Hi...Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once
viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.
I suggest you use only plain
paracetamol for fever. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F.
If you want to use
Ibuprofen I suggest you use plain Ibuprofen and not
Ibugesic Plus which is a combination of both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Plain Ibugesic can be given at the dose of 10mg/kg/dose every 8th hourly if temperature is more than 101F and the strength of the suspension is 100mg/5ml.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
