What Experts Say

Paracetamol lowers fever by acting on the brain's temperature control center and relieves pain by reducing the production of certain chemicals that trigger pain signals. It does not carry the stomach irritation risk that NSAIDs like ibuprofen do, which is why pediatricians in Pakistan often prefer it as a first choice fever medicine for infants.

Dosing for children must always be based on body weight, not age alone, since Pakistani children can vary widely in weight for their age. Parents should use the syringe or cup provided with the pack rather than a household spoon, to avoid accidental overdose.

The biggest risk with paracetamol suspensions is accidental double dosing, especially when a child is also given another cold or flu syrup that already contains paracetamol. Checking the ingredients of every medicine given together helps prevent this common and preventable mistake.
