Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My son is 2.5 years old. Weighing 11 kg s..he is suffering from viral fever. We have been advised by physician to give 3.5 ml of CrocIn DS 240mg/5ml suspension at interval of 4 hrs. Is it the right amount of syrup we are being advised or we are giving heavy dose. Please suggest.
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If he is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.
You can treat fever with Paracetamol at 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly if fever is > 100F. The correct dose of Syrup Crocin DS (24omg/5ml) 3ml every 4 to 6th hourly that too only if temperature is more than 100F.
