Cold and fever
My daughter 4 years old. Her weight is 12kg. Today she got running nose and temperature was 99.6. So gave paracetamol 4ml. My question is whether temperature raises or not, should we give paracetamol every 4 to 6 hours? If we give plenty of water does the duration of fever reduce? She gets cold cough fever every month. Do kids get cold fever frequently? Also her platelet is 1.28. Please suggest remedies to increase platelet. She is under medication for seizures. If kids get sick every month, is it OK to give paracetamol? Please explain

Give paracetamol only when there is fever. Frequent URTI can be due to many reasons which can be addressed only upon consultation. Need more details as in what ASM she's on, previous reports if any etc.. To comment on platelet count but 1.28 is borderline no need to worry.
