My 1-year-old son has a fever of 100?101?F with no other symptoms; is it safe and correct to give him 3 ml of Crocin 240mg/5ml twice daily, and what advice do you have for managing his condition?
A mild fever of 100?101?F is a natural sign of your child's body fighting off an infection. For pediatric paracetamol (Crocin), the correct dosage is based on your child's weight rather than age. A 3 ml dose of Crocin (240mg/5ml) delivers 144 mg of paracetamol, which is safe for an average 1-year-old (around 10 kg). However, paracetamol is typically given every 4 to 6 hours as needed for comfort, up to 4 times a day, rather than twice daily. Ensure he stays hydrated and wears light clothing. Please consult your pediatrician to verify the exact dose based on his weight.
