Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Paracetamol (Cronin) syrup 15 mg/kg body weight every 4-6 hourly depending on the gravity of fever. Tepid sponging along with medicine 3-4 times daily help in reducing fever quickly. If it is viral fever it subsides within 3-4 days.Otherwise she needs pediatricians consultation for diagnosis and treatment. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
