Since they just finished Mox CV DX, a new fever of 102?F means they should be re-evaluated by their pediatrician to ensure the ear infection is fully resolved. In the meantime, you can safely give 4 ml of paracetamol (250mg) to help reduce the fever and ease any discomfort. It is best to start with paracetamol as it is gentler. Please consult your doctor before using Meftal P (mefenamic acid) so they can determine the safest dose based on your child's current weight.
