My son has had a fever of around 101?F for the past two days. I have been giving Babygesic syrup, but the fever keeps coming back. What should I do?
A fever of 101?F for two days in a child is usually caused by a viral infection. Babygesic syrup (Paracetamol) can lower the fever for a while, but it may return as the medicine wears off. Continue giving paracetamol at the correct dose, ensure your child drinks enough fluids, and allow them to rest. If the fever lasts for more than three days or your child develops a rash, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or seems unusually sleepy, please consult a doctor for an examination.
