When considering giving Crocin DS (Paracetamol 240 mg/5 ml) suspension to your child for fever, here are the key points to keep in mind:
Appropriate Use: Crocin DS is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in children.
Dosage: The dose depends on your child's weight and age. It's important to follow the dosing instructions on the package or as advised by your pediatrician to avoid overdose.
Duration of Fever: Since your child has had a fever for 2 days, if the fever persists beyond 3 days or is very high, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious infection.
Other Symptoms: Watch for additional symptoms like difficulty breathing, rash, persistent vomiting, or lethargy, which require prompt medical attention.
Safety: Avoid giving other medications containing paracetamol simultaneously to prevent overdose.
If you are unsure about the correct dose or if your child's fever does not improve, please consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and evaluation.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please enter your age.
