Start with paracetamol (Calpol) for fevers under 101F, repeatable every 4 hours (max 4 doses/day). For higher fevers above 101-102F not responding to paracetamol, most pediatricians prescribe Meftal P or Ibuprofen (Ibugesic), with a 2-3 hour gap between alternating medications. What works better varies by child. If fever persists above 101F after medication, consult your pediatrician.
