Fever not coming down
Hi My girl baby of 9 and half months got temperature on Sunday night. Weight is 6.8 -7 kg. She had dysentery last month She doesn't have cough or cold. We started giving medomol 1 mg till yesterday evening. Fever was around 100-102. It has not come down only. And then we gave paracetamol suppository 80 mg in the night. We continued medomol 1 mg in 5 hours interval. Also we are giving tepid bath now and then. However the temperature was 102.2 whole night so Today morning 6 30 we gave mefkind-p suspension 2.5 ml post which fever came down and she had normal temperature. We continued paracetamol at 10 30 and 2 30. In the evening temperature rised to 100-102 Evening 6 30 we gave mefkind 2.5 ml but even after 1 hour her temperature is 102.5 Now her temperature is around 99 Please could you advise further steps How often should we give mefkind and how long we should give paracetamol
