HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here looking to the history given here febrile condition can be managed with "Acetaminophen" and this would be safe to use in this age group but it need to be given when body temperature reach beyond 100 degree F, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
