Please do not give any other medication, like ibuprofen, without consulting a paediatrician first. Fever medicines like Crocin (paracetamol) must be dosed strictly by your child's weight, not just their age; an incorrect dose is often why the fever persists. Do not self-medicate with alternative syrups, as they can be unsafe. For now, try lukewarm water sponging (avoid cold water) and ensure your child stays well-hydrated with water or breast milk/formula. If the fever remains very high, or if your child becomes lethargic, irritable, or refuses fluids, please consult your doctor immediately for a proper evaluation.

My 3-year-old child still has a fever despite taking Crocin suspension. What other medicine should I give?
