Hi. Please monitor your child's temperature. If axillary temperature raises above 99 degrees, give Syp Paracetamol (240mg/5ml) 5ml.
Next Steps
If any other symptom develops, do consult.
Health Tips
Don't repeat Paracetamol doses before 5 hrs. In case fever develops within 5 hrs, Sponging with tap water should be done.
