Fever not subsiding after taking PCM
My 16 month old child started having 102F fever last night. In the morning and afternoon it was 101F. Gave him 5ml of Calpol 120 in the afternoon but fever is not subsiding. Keeping a cold towel on his forehead from time to time. Checked his temperature in the evening it is showing as 103F, gave PCM again. My child also refuses to eat or drink anything now. Please advise.

Hello, give Syp. Ibugesic plus 3ml along with tepid sponging. If it is not subsiding then consult a paediatrician offline or online.
