My baby is of 8.5 month old, she is suffering from fever (100.7* to 100.8*) from yesterday evening. Consulted doctor. He prescribed paracetamol + ibrufen (125+100mg per 5 ML). Asked us to give 4ml every 6 hours. Can you please suggest whether the said amount of syrup is acceptable? After seeing the content I just got a doubt whether can we give that much amount of paracetamol and ibrufen to a baby. So give only a ML. Fever (100.8*) started after 5 hours. What is the maximum dosage of drug which can we give to a 8 month baby? And also can we keep wet cloth on her forehead?
Along with the above syrup also prescribed solvin and cephalaxine oral suspension 3drops-3drops-3drops. Is that ok to give all of these to a 8 month baby, please suggest

Most likely to be viral fever.
Stop all medicines,give only paracetamol(crocin drops,e.g)18 drops(0.8 ml)every 4 hours if required.
In case of additional symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or coughing,consult your paediatrician again.
