Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Measure the temperature correctly.
If found to be high give paracetamol drops 15 mg/kg body weight per dose 6th hourly.
The reason for not sleeping may be infantile colick.
Colimex-DF drops 3-4 times daily may help.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
