autumnbronze:Started first with runny nose, watery eyes and high fever (bet 38.3 to 38.9) for 2 days or so. Had to sponge him several times in the night as panadol was not really very effective. hi autumnbronze,do you give only paracetamol if kid has fever >38.5C? should also give med for high-grade fever leh... i give neurofen. if temp shoots up quickly and it's >39 when we first discover, will use suppository instead for quick relief.
