Hello doctors, my 15 months baby is having temperature of 100.2, he had a severe cold, he had a history of febrile seizure once when he was 12months old due to high grade fever. Now I have given meftal 4ml, dosage as given in his pediatric file. In half an hour temperature has come now to 98.8. is there any signs to watch for.. should I give paracetamol in another 4 hours. Please advice, as it's not possible for me contact his pediatrician now. Baby is 15 months old and weight is 9.8 kg. Thank you
