Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your treating doctor I advice you that yes calpol is good to control the fever. you can also take cold water and cloth to keep giving cold sponge on head to control fever. But remember it only clears your fever. It wont cure underlying pathology. But surely get checked up at good hospital after that.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
