What Is The Medication For 16 Months Old With Fever?
My 16 month old baby has a low grade fever that responds to Paracetamol, poor appetite (still eating but small amounts) and soft stools. He is not constantly rubbing his ears and his tonsils are slightly red. Should I keep an eye on him for the next 24hours or should I seek medical help?

Hello. I just read through your question.
What you are describing is very common in this age group. You can co tinue paracetamol as needed for 2-3 days. If the symptoms persist beyond that time, I recommend consulting with tour doctor. Until then, you can treat at home.
