My 21-month-old son weighs 10 kg and has a 100?F fever after testing positive for the coronavirus; is it safe to give him Crocin and azithromycin syrup, and if so, what is the correct dose for him?

Asked by Male, 34 · 5 days ago

For his 100?F fever, Crocin (paracetamol) is safe to help him feel more comfortable. At 10 kg, a typical paracetamol dose is around 150 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but please check the bottle's concentration with his pediatrician to get the exact milliliter dose. Azithromycin is an antibiotic, which is not effective against viral infections like coronavirus. It should only be given if specifically prescribed by his pediatrician. Please keep him well-hydrated, and consult his doctor for a personalized treatment plan.
