Thank you for asking in this forum You can give P 250 at the dose of 10 mg/kg of his weight. Present recommendation is to give up to 15 mg/kg of paracetamol. In my clinic if the fever is not reduced I would give syrup/ tab Metonymic acid in required dose as per his weight and observe for any sign of infection like cough with purulent (pussy) sputum or diarrhea with pus and mucus. Of Course, I will do a blood RE also if the fever returns. If it is just fever most likely it is due to a viral fever and will take 3-4 days to completely go. If the fever is due to an infective process he will require appropriate antibiotic as your doctor suggests. Take care and regards
