Hi..do not give Buscopan as it might cause dizziness in some people. I suggest you to give Paracetamol for fever and pain in tummy too.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
