5 doses of paracetamol within 24 hrs

Hi Doctors, My pediatrician advised paracetamol on SOS basis. I have given 5 doses of paracetamol (1ml) to my 10 months old baby within 24 hrs. First dose 4:30 AM, Second dose 11 AM(after 6 hrs) Third dose 2:40 PM( within 4 hrs but 4 hrs about to complete), as fever reached to 103.8 Fourth dose 7 PM(after 4 hrs), Fifth dose 3:00 AM(1.5 hrs before 24 hrs period completion) as again fever was very high) During all the doses , fever was high. I am worried that I may not have given overdose of paracetamol to my baby. Each ml contains paracetamol IP 100 mg Please advise.

Hi , my 3.5 month aged son has just returned from my in laws home where he went to visit for 10 days. We took him once 20days back there too for 5days. Before going there this time, he used to make a lot of different types of vocal sounds , but after coming back from there , he has suddenly become vocally quiet , only makes sound while he cries or very seldom once or twice. But he plays a lot and is very active like before only. Is this something to worry about? Also could you please tell me, from which month can I give him the polio doses for polio sunday. He has completed vaccine doses till 2.3 months.
