Paracetamol comes in two compositions one 250mg/5ml and 120mg/5ml,so the dosage will be different .for further queries kindly book online consultation to guide you through the treatment.

Tepid sponging Maintain hydration Watch for vitals(urine output/urine color/blood in stool/fever/activity)....if deterioration present do follow u p *General danger sign* (the child is not able to drink . the child vomits everything .the child has had convulsions .the child is lethargic or unconscious). Most children with a general danger sign need URGENT referral to hospital/physical meet with pediatrician for review.
