What should I do to safely lower my 13.2 kg child's high fever when alternating paracetamol (Crocin) and Meftal P, along with body sponging, is not bringing the temperature down?
Since alternating paracetamol (Crocin) and mefenamic acid (Meftal P) along with lukewarm water sponging isn't lowering the temperature, please consult your pediatrician promptly. It is crucial to verify the exact dosages for her 13.2 kg weight to ensure effectiveness and safety. Keep her well-hydrated with water, soups, or ORS, and dress her in light clothing. Avoid using cold water for sponging. Please seek immediate emergency care if she becomes unusually lethargic, has difficulty breathing, or shows any signs of a seizure.
