Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Both medicines are effective provided they are given in right doses according to the weight of the baby .And also with the right intervals.
Crocin to be effective should be given in 4 hourly basis interval.
Plenty of fluids.
Tepid water sponging.
take care of the nutrition
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
