Appreciate your concern.
If your child is having continous fever,
Do cold sponging of the whole body for around 10-15mins
If fever persists, give paracetamol dose as advised by your pediatrician.. You can repeat paracetamol after 4-6hrs if fever recurrs. Meftal-p has not been recommended in children group..
Usually viral infection has initially high grade in intensity, later weans off.
