Suggest Dosage For Fever Medicine

My baby is 6 months old and just got a Hepatitis B shot (this is the 3rd time) and she is having a fever (~38 celcius) for 3 days since. What should I do? Can I give her Triaminic™ Fever Reducer Pain Reliever Infants' Drops (this is what I got from my brother in USA)? and what's the dose, because the label says below 2 years old, check with doctors.

Thanks,

Worried dad.

Dear parent, yes you can give this medication to your child although it is not recommended below 2 years of age. but since the fever didn't resolve for 3 days then you need to give an antipyretic to treat the fever . the dose will be 2.5 ml every 8 hours.
