Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Crocin ( paracetamol) dose is 10-12 mg /kg/dose 6 hourly.
Ibugesic dose 10-15 mg/kg/dose 6 hourly.
Mild degree cough and fever is not under control so add one antibiotic after the advice of your doctor.
May be due to flu than antibiotics will not help.
Ice pack sponging will give relief.
If flu course 4-5 days.
Good luck.
