For your 5.5 kg baby, the correct dose of paracetamol (Crocin) drops (100 mg/mL) is 0.8 mL. You can give this dose every 4 to 6 hours as needed to help with her fever and post-vaccination pain, making sure not to exceed 4 doses in 24 hours. Always use the measuring dropper included in the packaging for accuracy. To keep her comfortable, dress her in light clothing and offer plenty of breast milk or formula. Please do not give other medicines containing paracetamol simultaneously. If her fever persists for more than 24 hours or if she becomes unusually lethargic, please contact your pediatrician.

Having these symptoms for over a week must be incredibly exhausting. Based on your description, a likely possibility is acute sinusitis (a sinus infection). When sinus passages swell, fluid can build up, causing nasal pain, ear congestion, and a severe headache that paracetamol can't quite relieve. Other possibilities include eustachian tube dysfunction or a middle ear infection. Because your headache is persistent and severe, I highly recommend consulting a doctor. They can safely examine your ears and nose to find the exact cause and prescribe targeted relief.

For paracetamol (Crocin), the safe dosage depends entirely on your child's weight, not just his age. Generally, paracetamol can be given every 4 to 6 hours, up to a maximum of 4 times in 24 hours. Please do not give it more frequently than every 4 hours, even if the fever returns. To ensure he gets the exact, safe dose, please check the packaging for weight-based dosing or consult his pediatrician. Keeping him hydrated and using cool compresses can also help soothe him in between doses.

This is a very common symptom of viral respiratory infections, like a cold, rather than a side effect of your medications. The infection causes temporary inflammation in your nasal pathways, which blocks your sense of smell. Neither Citrizen (cetirizine) nor Crocin (paracetamol) is known to cause this side effect. As your body recovers from the illness, your sense of smell should gradually return. Rest well, stay hydrated, and if your symptoms do not improve within a couple of weeks, please consult a doctor for a check-up.

Crocin contains paracetamol, which temporarily reduces temperature but does not cure the underlying cause, often a simple viral infection. As the medication wears off, your temperature may rise again. Since you have no other symptoms, this is generally not immediately alarming. Please avoid taking extra doses of paracetamol sooner than recommended, as this can be unsafe. Focus on staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If your fever continues for more than three days, rises significantly, or if you develop new symptoms, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

It is actually quite common for fevers to return as acetaminophen wears off after six hours. First, please stop the cough syrup, as these are not recommended for children under four. Focus on keeping her hydrated with water or warm fluids, and continue acetaminophen strictly by weight for comfort. Because she has a wet cough and a fever lasting three days, it is best to have her pediatrician examine her ears and chest to rule out any underlying infection. Please seek immediate care if she has trouble breathing, is very sluggish, or cannot keep fluids down.
