A temperature of 102?F is a common response to an infection. Do not give the next dose of paracetamol early; always wait at least four to six hours between doses to keep him safe, and never exceed four doses in 24 hours. In the meantime, keep him hydrated and dressed in lightweight clothing. If he is active and drinking fluids, you can safely wait for the four-hour mark. However, if he becomes unusually lethargic, has difficulty breathing, or if the fever persists past three days, please consult his pediatrician.
