Is Paracetamol Ideal In Case Of Fever And Headaches In A Child?

Hello

My 4 year old son started complaining about a headache about 8 hours ago and he has a fever now, his temp is around 38.5 c and is still complaining about his headache, we gave him a 250 mg Adol suppository (paracetamol) for the fever... Should we take him to the ER??

Thank you

Hi..what is the site of headache?; what is the nature of headache? Is it associated with cough,cold, vomiting or altered behavior? If nothing like this I would advice you to observe the child at home.
