I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.As your kid is 17 kilos - you can give Syrup Crocin-DS (240mg/5ml) strength at 5 ml every  4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s>
