I used to give by 4 years daughter childrens mortin in fever. It was quite effective. It contents Ibuprofen 100mg and pseudoephedrine hcl 15mg/5ml in USA. Now i m using Crocin suspension in India. but it is not that much effective. Can you please name any alternative to Childrens Mortin in India?

Hi, i am Dr. Diana and would be happy to answer your question. Well, actually for fever plain paracetamol or ibugesic is enough. Pseudoephedrine is not required for fever. We do have syp. ibugesic which contains 100mg of ibuprofen in every 5ml. But for mild fevers, around 100deg F, paracetamol should be enough and for any fever beyond 102deg F, we generally recommend ibuprofen or mefenemic acid (which is syp. meftal P).
