Paracetamol- No fever now
Hello Doctor,
My son's age is 1 year 11 months. Yesterday night he got fever 100.5 °F around 12' o clock. Gave paracetamol p 250 - 3 ml. After 1 st dose fever reduced like no there's no fever. But gave 2nd dose after 6 hours - 3ml.
Now my question is: fever got reduced. Should I give paracetamol today as well like another 3 doses with 6 hrs gap.
Please suggest. Thank you.
