Hi,

It is very likely that your child has a high respiratory viral infection, with a history of exposure to cold. In case of fever, you can help with physical means, place warm cloths at the front, armpits and groin; to lower body temperature. Even if the fever is very high, greater than 38ºC is better to bathe.

In addition, if you can get you can give Acetaminophen (Tylenol), the whole tablet, for its weight there is no problem with that dose.

As for as the Crocin, you can give the whole tablet, no problem, every 6 hours.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
