Hello, Thanks for the query.
If high fever is there then a higher dose of Paracetamol (Dolo 650 ) may be needed. What is the weight of the patient? Dose can be 10 -20 mg per kg per dose for 4 times a day with a maximum of 4 g in 24 hours.
Following a single dose, one may not see sudden reduction in fever. Plus even if fever does come down on taking adequate dose of paracetamol, there is always a possibility of fever coming back after about 5 to 6 hours as the blood levels of the drug goes down. That is why dosage is advised every 6 hours initially. The antibiotic given helps to treat and remove the cause (infection) for the fever. So in that case too a single dose is not going to be helpful. A minimum of few doses of antibiotic ( 2 to 3 days, 625 mg three times a day) has to be given. To help a better recovery give a good deal of fluids along with normal food. Preferably 1 to 1.5 liters of oral re-hydration fluid should go in. This will help in better recovery. If cough is present then that will take a bit longer to get cured. DO not panic. Patient should recover in next 2 to 3 days. Thanks.
