Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose 4-6 times daily depending on the necessity.
Tepid sponging at the height of fever will help reducing fever.
I usually prescribe Cefixime 8 mg/kg 2 times daily.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
