Is it normal for my 2.5-year-old to have a hot forehead while the rest of his body feels normal, and is the 5 ml dose of Crocin for kids we gave him correct?
It is quite common for toddlers to have a warm forehead as they regulate body heat mainly through their heads. To be sure of a fever, it is best to use a digital thermometer. Regarding the Crocin (paracetamol), pediatric dosing is based on your child's weight rather than age. A 5 ml dose might be correct depending on his weight and the specific strength of the syrup (such as 120 mg or 240 mg per 5 ml). Please check the bottle label and consult your pediatrician with your child's exact weight to confirm the safest dose.
