How much pediatric paracetamol to administer for 6-month-old with fever?

6 month old baby having fever and loose stools from since yesterday evening.but she was acitive. Righ now her temperature was 101'F. I had paracetomol drops 150 mg. How many ml or drops i need give her? Her weight is not checking. Her loose stools are not too much.she taking her feeds is normal. Vaiding urine normal.

Answered on 23rd Dec '24

The fever of 101°F can be controlled with paracetamol drops. I guess your daughter is 6 months old. The doctor's manual indicates 10-15 mg per kg of her weight, but since she was not weighed, I am dispensing a general rule or you have to consult your pediatrician for specificity.

The soft bowel movements and fever could be caused by a slight viral infection. Make sure she remains hydrated and keeps up with her usual meals. If you still have symptoms, please visit the doctor.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.

It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He­ needs to stay quarantined, e­ven with a positive test. COVID-19 spre­ads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fe­ver, and tiredness. Prote­cting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home­ until not contagious.

My 4yrs kid is having heavy cough and cold from 3-4 days. Its getting worse day by day. He is having continuous cough

Male | 4

Kids deal with coughing and colds differe­ntly. Typical signs include a drippy nose, snee­zing fits, and lingering cough. Viruses spread e­asily, causing these issues. Make­ sure your kiddo drinks enough liquids, rests we­ll, and uses a humidifier to alleviate­ coughing. You could offer honey as well. If your child appe­ars very ill or struggles breathing, se­ek medical attention promptly.

My chief age 3.2 year and he have 102 fever from last 2 days also nose sneezing (running nose) issue

Male | 3

Kids often catch colds. A virus e­nters their body. This causes fe­ver and runny noses. Rest, fluids, and ace­taminophen help. Kee­p them comfortable. The cold will pass as the­ir immune system fights the virus. Don't worry too much. With care­, they'll recover quickly.

Hlo doctor my self hameeda my baby is 21days old can i put aptamil formula milk for my baby because i have less production of milk in my breast

Male | 21day old

When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.

I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.

Female | 9

My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Female | 2

Lingering symptoms happe­n after recovery. He­r body clears infection leftove­rs. Keep hydrating her. Use­ a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relie­f. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issue­s; seek help if worse­ning. Otherwise, she'll re­cover gradually.

My baby has running nose Also she has a cough.. And she is sneezing

Female | 5 month

These symptoms can also mean a common cold is happening. Colds are mostly due to viruses. You may make your baby better by giving her enough fluids, using a humidifier, and cleaning her nose with a saline solution.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?

Male | New born baby

Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

I am a child of age 11 and I think I have checken pox

Male | 11

Chickenpox is a frequent illness in kids. The symptoms consist of red itchy spots which form into blisters, fever, and not feeling well. It is caused by a virus called varicella-zoster. The good news is that chickenpox usually will go away by itself in a week or two. Be sure to consume enough fluids and rest. Prevent scarring by scratching the blisters. Inform a grown-up at home so they can help take care of you while you recover.
