General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Fever indicates infection(like urinary tract infection/respiratory tract infection/wound infection/boils etc) somewhere in our body.Only if that is found out and treated with antibiotics,depon will help.So you please see a doctor as early as possible(it is already 4 days of high fever) to find out and treat the infection.Any delay will cause further complications.
Regarding over dosage of depon,you should never have done such a foolishness,that too for 4 days.Anyhow,do not worry.Paracetamol have a relatively high safety index in normal children.Do not repeat it.
Wishing him a fast cure.Thank you.
