1. Medications need some time to work, so if the child is holding down his food and medications, then give it some time it will work.
2. Do monitor the temperature with a thermometer at intervals and give paracetamol or ibuprofen as instructed. (Alternatively BUT not together).
3. A tepid sponge bath will also be beneficial here.
4. I do hope your child was seen by a Paediatrician.
5. If after all the child isn't better, you need to go back for a follow-up visit. Thank you.
