My 8-year-old child who weighs 30 kg had vomiting and loose stools earlier today and now has a 102?F fever; since I have already given them 8 ml of Crocin 240 mg, should I also give them any medicine for throwing up or stomach ache?
The dose of Crocin (paracetamol) you gave is safe and will help lower the fever. However, please avoid giving any medications for vomiting or stomach ache without consulting a pediatrician first. These treatments require a professional assessment to ensure they are safe and necessary. For now, focus on keeping her hydrated by offering small, frequent sips of oral rehydration salts (ORS) or water. If she cannot keep fluids down, seems unusually tired, or if the fever continues, please have her evaluated by a doctor right away.
