Paracetamol syrup consumption

Asked for Male, 34 Years

When body temperature is between 100°F & 101°F, can I give paracetamol oral solution to my 3.5 yrs old daughter suffering with fever? I'm asking this because our pediatrician suggested us to give the same only when temperature crosses 101°F.

Give only paracetamol whenever there is fever and that fever is causing some difficulty to baby.
