Suggest Treatment For Fever

Sir,My 6 year old son has 102 fever and I gave him calpol 120mg 5 ml at 8:30 pm and realised that dose was 10 ml. So gave him calpol 120 another 5 ml at 10 pm. And still at 12:30 pm he has 102 fever, so what should I do? And what medicine can I give him and when?

Use 10 mi of calpol every 4-6 hours ,follow with sponging by lukewarm water , not ive,not ice cold water. wet as much skin as possible, leave to evaporate and when skin gets dry ,wet again.
This is common at this age , need not worry. Visit your Paed. if no relief.
