Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring fever in an infant despite administering Paracetamol which is due to viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. You should take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get some routine blood investigation done. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. Take nimesulide along with paracetamol as well.Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
