Why is my 12.5 kg baby's fever of over 103?F not coming down even after giving 3.5 ml of Crocin DS, and what should I do if only sponging seems to temporarily lower it?

Asked by Female, 3 · 26 days ago

For a 12.5 kg child, 3.5 ml of Crocin DS (paracetamol) is an appropriate dose, but fevers can sometimes be stubborn and take 1 to 2 hours to lower the temperature slightly. Continue lukewarm (not cold) water sponging, as it safely helps. Ensure she stays well-hydrated with frequent sips of fluids. Never repeat the paracetamol dose before 4 to 6 hours. If the fever remains high after 3 days, or if she becomes lethargic, refuses fluids, or has difficulty breathing, please consult your pediatrician immediately.
