Please consult a paediatrician. Children under 2 yrs especially in first year of life, always better to see a specialist.
Health Tips
Record the time and degree of fever. It will help the doctor know about your child’s condition.
Ensure feeding regularly.
Calpol should ideally be repeated after 6 hrs. In some cases we can give after 4 hrs but that should always be done after doctor’s consultation.
