Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hai...probably he's going through a viral illness & he will get better. Do not worry. A word of caution...please do not use both paracetamol & ibuprofen & that too so frequently. Minimum gap between 2 doses should be 4 hours. Ibuprofen itself can cause tummy ache. Happy to help anytime.
