Is It Safe To Give Crocin For High Fever To 2 Years Old?

Hi my son is of 2.5 yrs. He is having high fever from night. It is currently 4 AM. Last time he ate was at 10pm. At home I have Crocin Oral Suspension. Also he his half sleep, so trying to give Crocin might annoy him and he can puke it. Can i give him crocin? Do I need to feed him something before giving Crocin as last time he ate was 10 pm? If feeding is reqd then what should be the time gap? Also can Crocin be given mixing with water, so that he don t puke it? Urgent help reqd.

Hi...Coming to your queries one by one -
1. You can safely give Crocin - 5ml. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.

2. You can give Crocin on empty stomach too.

3. The minimum gap between 2 doses should be 4 hours. So You can give it safely now.

4. Crocin can be mixed with water.
