Hello
May I know your child’s weight?
Yes, Ibugesic Plus can be given in certain situations after paracetamol (Calpol) if high-grade fever persists, but it must be done cautiously and with correct dosing.
First line:
Calpol (Paracetamol) – 15 mg/kg every 6 hours
Check if at least 2 hours have passed since last dose
If fever remains high (>102–103°F) and child is uncomfortable:
Ibugesic Plus (Ibuprofen + Paracetamol) can be given occasionally
Not to be given regularly with paracetamol – avoid overlapping doses
Dosage (Ibugesic Plus suspension): Usually 5–7.5 ml (based on weight ~12–14 kg) every 6–8 hours
Next Steps
Lukewarm sponging to reduce temperature
Maintain hydration – fluids, ORS, coconut water, breastfeeds
Encourage rest and avoid overdressing
