Please do not give him an antibiotic without consulting his pediatrician first. Antibiotics only fight bacterial infections, and most childhood fevers are caused by viruses, which antibiotics cannot cure. Giving them unnecessarily can be harmful. Crocin (paracetamol) helps manage the fever, but since it is returning every four hours, please keep him hydrated and comfortable. I highly recommend having him evaluated by a doctor to find the exact cause of the fever and get the right treatment plan.

Should I give my 7-year-old son an antibiotic in addition to Crocin syrup if his 102?F fever keeps returning every four hours?
