<s>[INST] Can we feed food (rice and dal) if the baby is suffering from high fever, or only feed liquids (milk, coconut water, butter milk, etc)? Baby is 14 months old, and he is 10.5Kg weight. Fever persists for last one day. Currently using the medicine Dolo syrup 6ml every 6 hours once. [/INST] Thank you for the question.Yes you can provide the baby with liquids and semi solid foods.Paracetamol is safe for fever. But it reduces fever for a few hours. It is not the treatment for underlying cause, for which medical attention is adivisable if fever still persists. </s>
