Thanks for the query.
Dose of paracetamol is 15 to 20 mg per kg per dose every 4 to 6 hrly.
You need to give the medicine as per the dose.
Giving lesser dose may not reduce the fever and higher dose may cause side effects.
I advised you to give syp. Ibugesic plus if fever is above 101F.
Dose depends on weight.
Hope i helped you.
