Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most of the fevers in children of this age is of viral origin. Antibiotics are ineffective. The fever has to be managed by the use of paracetamol as you have rightly done. 7 ml of P-125 syrup is the right dose for him. Give it to him at at least an interval of 3-4 hours in case fever comes back. You can give sponging with water at room temperature to relieve his fever. Ibugesic plus contains ibuprofen which is more effective than paracetamol in relieving temperature and can also be given but you need not change the medicine if the fever comes down with paracetamol.
