Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My seven-month old baby is extremely cool (no warmth to her forehead whatsoever) and clammy to the touch. She keeps waking up crying and is very unsettled, although she has been in fine form and very happy all day. Is it likely to be teething related or should I be worried? Calpol has got her back to sleep but she still feels cold.
Hi, Welcome to HCM. I know that you are very concerned about your child, but don't worry. Calpol contains paracetamol and is given for fever in child. It should not be given for cold. It could be teething related but its not to worry. You can give ibuprofen syrup for pain. I hope this will help you. take care.
