What should be done if a 10-year-old child weighing 57 lbs has a persistent fever of 102.8?F that has not decreased five hours after administering Crocin?

Asked by Female, 10 · 12 days ago

Since it has been five hours since the Crocin (paracetamol), you can consider giving her another dose of paracetamol, ensuring the dosage is calculated correctly for her weight of 57 lbs. In the meantime, try to keep her comfortable and hydrated with water or diluted juices, and apply cool, damp cloths to her forehead. Please avoid cold baths or ice. If her fever remains high despite these measures, or if she becomes unusually lethargic or develops a rash, please consult her pediatrician right away for a personalized evaluation.
