A recurring fever is actually a normal way for her body to fight off an infection. Paracetamol (Crocin) helps lower the temperature temporarily to keep her comfortable, but it is expected to wear off after a few hours while her body clears the virus. Focus on keeping her hydrated with frequent sips of water or milk, and dress her in lightweight clothing. Please ensure the paracetamol dose is based on her current weight. Most importantly, consult her pediatrician for a proper evaluation, especially if the fever lasts over three days, or if she becomes unusually lethargic.
