6 months old viral fever
My baby has viral fever for last 2 days, our pediatrician asked to put p-100 drops 1ml for every 6 hours for 3 days. Should I put drops even when the baby's temparature is around 99. Because if I didn't fever comes anyhow after few hours. How to cure this. He is feeding well, having milk and looks active. No issues in that. Just his head,palm and sole becomes warm after sometime
