Continue paracetamol syrup for fever, don't use meftal or ibugesic for fever control.
If he develops vomiting, stomach pain , skin rash in the form of red spots or any bleeding manifestations then need admission and sometimes icu care..
If child is otherwise stable, eating well then paracetamol syrup is enough
Health Tips
can give syp caripill 5 ml twice daily
