Yes, it is generally safe to give Crocin (paracetamol) every 6 to 8 hours (up to 4 times in 24 hours) to help him feel comfortable. However, the correct dosage is based on your child's weight, not just his age. Please check the product label or consult your pediatrician for the exact dose. Keep him well-hydrated and in light clothing. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, or if he becomes very lethargic, irritable, or refuses fluids, please have him evaluated by a doctor.

A high fever and sore throat can be caused by either a viral infection or a bacterial infection like strep throat. While the Crocin DS (paracetamol) suppository is safe to help lower your fever and ease the pain, please do not start the Amoxicillin yet. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections, and using them without a doctor's diagnosis can be harmful. It is best to have a healthcare professional examine your throat to determine the exact cause and prescribe the correct medication. Please rest, sip cool liquids to stay hydrated, and have a parent or guardian take you to a doctor soon.

I understand you must be very worried about your child. Since she has had a fever, stomach pain, and leg pain for two days despite taking Crocin DS (paracetamol), it is very important to have her evaluated by a pediatrician. A persistent fever accompanied by stomach and leg pain can sometimes point to an underlying infection that requires specific medical attention. In the meantime, please keep her comfortable and ensure she stays hydrated with small, frequent sips of water. Avoid giving any new medications without a doctor's advice. If she becomes very lethargic, vomits, or if the pain worsens, please seek immediate medical care.

Crocin contains paracetamol. While taking 2 to 3 tablets a day is usually within the maximum daily limit, using it every day can paradoxically make your headaches worse?a condition called medication overuse headaches. At 78, daily use can also place extra strain on your liver and kidneys. For the safest and most effective relief, it is best to consult your doctor. They can help identify your migraine triggers and prescribe targeted, safer preventive treatments tailored just for you.

Her symptoms, especially the sudden loss of taste and smell, suggest a viral infection such as COVID-19. Please reassure her that she can recover well with rest. She should stop taking the antibiotic azithromycin unless specifically prescribed by a doctor, as antibiotics do not fight viruses. She may continue paracetamol (Crocin) for pain relief and cetirizine (Citrixen) for throat discomfort as needed. The best next steps are for her to isolate, stay well-hydrated, rest, and get a COVID-19 test. Please consult a doctor online or in person for a proper clinical evaluation.

I understand your concern. Since Crocin DS has not lowered the fever, Meftal-P (Mefenamic Acid) can be used, but the exact dosage depends strictly on your child's weight, not just age. The standard pediatric dose is 4 to 6 mg per kg of body weight, given up to three times daily after food. For example, a child weighing 10 kg would typically require 2.5 ml of Meftal P (100mg/5ml) syrup per dose. Please consult your pediatrician with your child's current weight to get the precise dose. Keep him hydrated and use tepid sponging to help reduce the fever safely.
