<s>[INST] When can I give my child medication for his or her fever and what is the dose? [/INST] If your child is uncomfortable, you can give them a dose of fever reducer. However, if your child does not seem uncomfortable you do not have to give medication. Remember, fever is not something to be feared, and is actually helping your child fight infection. Always dose medication by WEIGHT and not by age. Source: OAKLEAF CLINIC. Link: https://www.oakleafclinics.com/article.phtml/fever_faq. Field: Infectious Disease. Disease: Fever </s>
