Greetings
It is completely normal for viral fevers to return quickly as paracetamol wears off.Continue giving the antiviral (Fluvir) on schedule to treat the underlying infection.Ensure her Crocin dosage is calculated accurately based on her weight.
Hydrate the child well
Monitor closely for danger signs like extreme lethargy, breathing trouble, or dehydration.

Fever returning once the effect of Crocin wears off is common with flu/viral infections, particularly during the first 2–3 days. More important than the temperature itself is how the child is behaving, drinking and passing urine. Give Crocin only in the correct dose and interval advised by your doctor, encourage plenty of fluids, and avoid cold-water sponging. If she has difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, marked drowsiness, poor fluid intake/reduced urine, seizures, or fever persisting beyond 3 days, please get her re-examined by a pediatrician.
