Crocin contains paracetamol, which helps control fever but doesn't cure the underlying cause, so the fever may return as the medicine wears off. For a 12 kg child, ensuring the correct dose based on his weight is very important; please verify the exact dosage strength with your pediatrician. Keep him comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and try tepid sponging. If the fever lasts more than three days, or if he becomes unusually sleepy or refuses liquids, please have him evaluated by his doctor.

What should I do if my 12 kg son's fever of 101 to 102 degrees keeps coming back even though I am giving him Crocin syrup every 6 hours?
