Brief Answer:
You can give it safely

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Fepanil 250 contains paracetamol. Paracetamol is used to relieve fever.

Paracetamol syrup can be given at 4 hourly interval, there is no harm if given in prescribed doses.

I think that you should give fepanil 250 whenever there is fever. No need to worry if have already given it for 3 days, it will be safe to use.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
