At 14 months, persistent fevers are common as their immune systems fight off infections. Crocin (paracetamol) and Meftal (mefenamic acid) help temporarily lower the temperature and provide comfort, but they do not cure the underlying infection. As these medications wear off every 4 to 6 hours, the fever can naturally return. Please focus on keeping your baby hydrated and dressed in light clothing. Since the fever has lasted three days, it is very important to consult your pediatrician. They can evaluate your baby to identify the cause of the fever and ensure the correct medication doses.

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?

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.

What medicine can I take to relieve severe ear pain that is keeping me from sleeping, especially since I have had a cold for a week and Crocin and a hot water bag are not helping?

It is very common for a cold to cause fluid and pressure buildup behind the eardrum, which often worsens when lying down. Since Crocin is not providing relief, you may benefit from an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen, or prescription nasal decongestants. However, because severe pain can indicate a middle ear infection, please have a doctor examine your ear for targeted treatment. Tonight, try sleeping with your head elevated on extra pillows to reduce pressure.

What are the potential causes of progressive bilateral ear pain accompanied by a fever, and what is the appropriate management when symptoms temporarily improve with paracetamol (Crocin) but recur?

Progressive bilateral ear pain with a fever often points to an infection, such as a middle ear infection or outer ear canal inflammation. While paracetamol (Crocin) is excellent for temporarily reducing fever and easing pain, it only masks the symptoms without treating the underlying infection, which is why the pain returns once the medication wears off. I gently recommend consulting a doctor or an ENT specialist soon. They can safely examine your ears and prescribe the correct targeted treatment, such as antibiotics if an infection is present.

My father tested positive for COVID-19, had a chest CT scan showing mild lung involvement, and is currently taking Crocin 650, Ivermectin, LT-DOX, Antiflu, Azithral, Van-D3, Zincovit, Ecosprin-AV, Cetrizine, and Famotidine; however, after three days on these medications, he still has a recurring fever, a new feeling of throat congestion, and his blood oxygen levels recently dipped to 91-92%?what should we do next?

Since your father's oxygen levels have dipped to 91-92% and his fever persists despite taking paracetamol (Crocin 650) and his other medications, he requires immediate medical evaluation. An oxygen saturation below 94% indicates that he may need supplemental oxygen and a prompt adjustment of his treatment plan by his doctor. Please contact his physician or visit the nearest emergency room right away. While you arrange this, you can encourage him to lie on his stomach (awake proning) to help improve his oxygenation, and continue monitoring his levels closely.

Is it normal for my four-and-a-half-month-old daughter's fever to keep coming back after giving her Crocin drops, and what should I do if her head feels very warm but her body temperature is 99?F?

At four and a half months, a temperature of 99?F is actually within the normal range and not considered a true fever (which is 100.4?F or higher). A baby?s head can often feel warm because they regulate body temperature mainly through their head. It is normal for a mild fever to fluctuate as the paracetamol (Crocin) wears off while her body fights off a mild infection. Keep her lightly dressed, offer frequent feeds to prevent dehydration, and monitor her temperature. Please consult her pediatrician if her temperature reaches 100.4?F or higher, or if she becomes lethargic.

My active 1-year-old has had a mild fever and occasional cough for three days, mostly in the evening; is it safe to continue giving him 3 ml of Crocin 250mg/5ml suspension syrup every six hours, and what should I do if the fever keeps returning?

. A 3 ml dose of Crocin 250mg/5ml (paracetamol) is generally safe and appropriate for a child of this age to help reduce fever when given every six hours. However, pediatric doses are precisely calculated by weight, so it is best to confirm this with your doctor. Since the mild fever and cough have continued for three days, please consult your pediatrician for a proper evaluation to identify the cause. Ensure she stays well-hydrated.
