Please consult a pediatrician immediately. Do not combine or alternate Meftagesic DS and Crocin; both contain paracetamol, and giving them together risks a dangerous overdose. Use only one medication (preferably plain Crocin) for fever, with the dosage strictly based on your child's weight as advised by a doctor. A runny nose lasting 15 days is prolonged and requires evaluation for allergies or sinus infections. Given the fever and vomiting, a physical examination is necessary to diagnose the cause. Meanwhile, keep your child hydrated with frequent, small sips of water or ORS. Do not self-medicate further.

My child has had a fever since yesterday that keeps returning despite giving paracetamol. After the temperature reached 103.5?F an hour ago, I administered 5 ml of Pacimol MF. Is Pacimol MF safe and appropriate to control this high fever, and what should I do if the fever does not come down?

The medication you administered contains paracetamol and mefenamic acid, which is commonly used to control high, stubborn fevers in children. However, because the safe dose depends strictly on your child's weight, please consult your pediatrician before giving any further doses.\n\nIf the fever does not come down, do not give additional medicine. Instead, dress your child in lightweight clothing, keep the room comfortably cool, and use lukewarm water sponging (avoid cold water) to help lower the temperature. Ensure they stay well-hydrated. If the fever remains very high after two hours, or if your child is unusually sleepy, vomiting, or has difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
