He has had a fever with ear pain for 3 days, it can be because of the ear infection. Giving paracetamol at proper dosage is okay.

Hello I understand your worry — it’s completely normal to feel stressed when your child falls sick often. Children between 1–5 years of age are still developing their immune system and may fall sick 8–10 times a year, especially with colds, fevers, or ear pain. Paracetamol is generally safe when given at the correct dose (15 mg/kg) and not more than 4 times in 24 hours. Giving it for 2–3 days during fever is okay, but please avoid using it continuously for weeks without doctor supervision. Your child’s repeated illness may be due to: Normal immunity-building phase Exposure to other kids (daycare, school) Underlying issues like allergic rhinitis, enlarged adenoids, or iron deficiency

It's understandable to feel worried when your child falls ill frequently. Mild childhood illnesses, such as fever and ear pain, are common in children aged 3–5 years as their immune system is still developing and they are exposed to various infections in daycare, preschool, or social settings. However, it is important not to give paracetamol (acetaminophen) for more than 3 days in a row without consulting a doctor, as frequent or prolonged use can lead to liver problems or mask an underlying illness. My opinion: If your child continues to develop fevers and complaints such as ear pain, it may indicate an underlying infection (such as an ear infection) or another health issue that requires a doctor's evaluation. Rather than repeatedly giving paracetamol, it's best to identify and treat the underlying cause.

If you are giving paracetamol in appropriate dose around 6 hourly in case of fever then this is safe. Next thing you described that fever is associated with ear pain, there may be possibility of ear infection. I need to know more, is there any other associated symptoms like cold, cough or ear discharge ?
