Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Hi what dose did you give of calpol , I mean calpol 125/5ml or calpol 250mg/5ml. Any fever for more that 24 hours and more than 101° F its better that child is seen by pediatrician. Do read my article it may help you.."Common Cold: Its Very Common, Don't Panic" by Dr. Poonam.M.
