Check temperature before giving dolo 250

Do we need to check baby temperature before giving paracetamol or dolo syrup for every 6 or 8 hours ? If the temperature is 100 in the morning and given dolo/paracetamol syrup and in the noon if the temperature is 99 do we still need to give the syrup ? Please advise thanks in advance.

Hi Oral Paracetamol is used for fever control, pain relief....dosing is 10-15mg/kg/dose every 6-8hourly, as per need, namely if temperature over 99.6F or bodyache Since minimal use of oral Paracetamol is always safe, in view of liver concerns, it is always best to use on need-basis so that unnecessary doses of Paracetamol is avoided!
