Hello,
Thank you for your post on HealthcareMagic.
I carefully read your query and able to find your point of concern.
The prescribing drug is good.
As your son is suffering from fever having 104 degree Fahrenheit.
I think you can try paracetamol suppository 250mg per rectaly if temp more than 101 degree Fahrenheit.
Tepid sponging will help to lowering the temperature.
If no improvement occur please consult with prescribing doctor.
I think it will help you.
Wish your son's good health.
Regards
Dr. Atiqul
