Hello my 2.6 years boy is having fever. Can if i use paracetemol250 alone is enough or do i need to use antibiotic also? Or else please give me prescription. Usually we use Fepanil125 till now for normal fever and SUMO for high fever. What do you suggest.
Most of such fevers are caused by viruses where antibiotics are ineffective. So, you do not need to give antibiotics. Paracetamol helps in reducing fever. If you use paracetamol 250 mg/5 m syrup, you will have to give half the amount in ml than if you had given 125 mg/5ml syrup. How much you need is dependent on the actual weight of the child. Email contains paracetamol, but Sumo contains paracetamol 125 mg + Nimesulide and I would not recommend the use of the latter. You may use Metal P instead. It contains metonymic acid and is more effective in reducing temperature. We cannot give you prescriptions through this platform. It is just to enrich your knowledge so that you can deal with your situation better.
