Prolonged fever
My kid got fever cold cough on Wednesday evening. Till now the fever has not reduced. That is it's getting reduced if we give ibugesic plus. But it's not reduced if we give p250. Her weight is 14kg. We are doing sponging but she is fussy and sleepy. Can we give p250 or ibugesic. Doctor said to give p250 for 3 days more. But it's not reducing fever. How much ml p250 to give? Does it cause side effects as this 4th day we are giving
