What is the correct dose of Crocin DS syrup for my 10-year-old daughter who weighs 30 kg, and what should I do since she still has a fever of 38?C (100.4?F) after I gave her 5 ml three times today?

Crocin DS contains paracetamol. For a child weighing 30 kg, the correct dose of Crocin DS (240 mg/5 ml) is actually about 9 mL per dose, which can be given every 4 to 6 hours as needed (up to 4 times in 24 hours). The 5 mL dose you gave was likely too low to effectively lower her fever. Please adjust to the correct dose, ensuring at least a 4-hour gap between doses. Keep her well-hydrated and dressed in light clothing. If the fever persists despite the correct dosage, or if she becomes lethargic, please consult her pediatrician.
