Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for asking in this forum YOu can give P 250 at the dose of 10 mg/kg of his weight. Present recommendation is to give up to 15 mg/kg of paracetamol. In my clinic if the fever is not reduced I would give syrup/ tab Mefenamic acid in required dose as per his weight and observe for any sign of infection like cough with purulent (pussy ) sputum or diarrhoea with pus and mucus . Of Course I will do a blood RE also if the fever returns. If it is just fever most likely it is due to a viral fever and will take 3-4 days to completely go.If the fever is due to an infective process he will require appropriate antibiotic as your doctor suggests. Take care and regards
