Child Having Fever, Cough, Running Nose. Refusing Medication. When To Use Adole Suppository, Its Dosage?
My 16 months old child is having fever since yesterday. She is coughing and has runny nose as well. She is having fever ranging 100 to 102degree F. She is refusing to take any syrup ( calpol/ adole). I want to know at what temperature I should use adole suppository. Pls advise me with the dosage. If it is ok to give half of 125mg when she is having fever less than 102 degree F??

Hi,
ADOL is paracetamol.
You can use the suppository when temp is above 99.5 deg f!
Use is same as oral preparation - can be used every 6 hours!
Only thing is repeated use can cause irritation of the rectum.
Keep trying oral syrup now and then.
You can use full 125 mgs suppository for your baby for one use!
Good luck
