Hello. Please follow the prescription correctly .
If fever is not settling (even if not completely reduced it should be coming down slowly) and continues to be at a high temperature even after 2-3 days , visit your Pediatrician.
Next Steps
Record temperature and give paracetamol according to prescription.
Give plenty of fluids
Watch for your child’s urine output.
Take to a hospital immediately if urine output has significantly come down / child is drowsy .
