Hi Doc, We Gave The Baby (13 Months, 11 Kgs)
Question: Hi Doc, we gave the baby (13 months, 11 kgs) crocin drops (240/5) 4 ml at 3 pm when the fever was 101 and Meftal-P 4ml at 7:30 pm when the fever was 103. The baby was active for a few hours after that. Now, the fever is 101 again at 11:30 pm. Can we give Crocin drops again ? Any other advice ?
