How effective is calpol in treating fever in kids?
Patient: Hi.. My daughter is 11 months old and is suffering from fever for the last 2 days. We are giving her 1.25 ml Calpol drops. Fever drops and after taking the medicine and again gets increased after 4-5 hours. Shall we continue Calpol drops? She is having 100.9 now. Doctor: HiWelcome to the HCMI understand your concerns but don't worry. The most likely reason for fever in this age group is self limiting viral infections. It improves within a few days with symptomatic management. Do, continue calpol for fever spikes. If the fever persists for more than three days or there is any worsening than do visit a pediatrician for proper clinical examination and definitive treatment.Take care
