Crocin suspension given every 4 hours for a 99.9 degrees F fever is not effective, what alternative medicine should be prescribed?

Asked by Male, 31 · 15 days ago

A temperature of 99.9 degrees F is a low-grade fever and usually does not require medication unless your child is uncomfortable. Giving Crocin (paracetamol) every 4 hours is too frequent and risks liver toxicity. Do not increase the dose. If your child is distressed and an alternative is needed, Ibuprofen suspension can be considered, but only after consulting your pediatrician to get the correct dosage based on your child's weight. For now, keep your child hydrated, dress them in light clothing, and use lukewarm water sponging. Please visit your pediatrician before switching medications to ensure safety.
