Fever and mild loose motion

Question

Asked for Female, 1 Years

My 15 month old daughter has fever since 2 days. We started Calpol 100 mg from day 1. On day 1 fever kept coming back every 5-6 hours and we continued with Calpol. Then on second day it came back twice after 10-11 hours only. But again from second day evening it started coming back every 5 hours. In fever, Her temperature is between 99.5 - 101.7. What should we do? Also since we have been giving Calpol till now, can we switch to Crocin drops? Is it safe to switch between medicines the same day? Also what could this be? And why there is a fluctuation in the repeating time for the fever. Is there anything serious or to worry?

Little fever by itself is nothing to worry about as it helps the body to fight about infection. You can change from calpol to crocin. No problem. Any simple fever like viral fever lasts 4 days. You need to worry if child is not active, not eating at all or passing less urine and weak. Contact directly as more details are needed but looks like no serious issue from this history
