Consistent Fever

Asked for Male, 6 years

My nephew is having 101 to 102 fever after every 4 hours we are giving panadol 4 drops but on its box its written that these drops are for 2 months babies on wards. Please tell me is it ok to give him 4 drops? And if not, then how to control the fever?

Dear Patient,

A quarter dropper is the desired dose for less than 6mo. However its more important to find out why he is having a fever and treat it. Does he have any pain after having food/urinating? Does he have motions? Does he have any flu or cough? If not then you should get a CBC done and see a pediatrician immediately. Give the child regular feeds and if the fever is 101 or above, give a bath and make him wear a vest only at all times. Sponge with icy water if fever is still high. If fever is above 103 then go To any hospital emergency immediately.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
