Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic..
The dose of paracetamol (Tylenol) is 15 mg/kg body weight can be given as frequently as every 4 hours depending on the requirement.
You can calculate the dose as per the weight of your child and give her.
The frequency is decided by the severity of fever.
You should not repeat the dose before 4 hours.
You may suppliment this with tepid sponging.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
