Dear mae.delante Will you please let me know what suppository you have given
the child for fever? I am unable to comment with out knowing the name. I think
instead of Dulcolux suppository use glycerol suppository for infant and give Docusol
paeditric oral soln(12.5mgm/5ml) 5mls three times daily. Give the baby extra
fluid i.e.boiled an cooled water frequently. kindest regards Dr.S.K.Mukherjee
