Paracetamol lowers fever by affecting the brain’s temperature set-point. Overdose can hurt the liver.
Weight (kg) is primary; age is secondary. Premature babies or liver issues need special dosing from a doctor.
Crushing an adult tablet and guessing — dangerous. Using two brands together — overdose.
First newborn fever, repeated vomiting after a dose, or a rash — stop guessing and call the clinic.
Follow the schedule from your doctor / leaflet; do not go shorter than the minimum interval.
Often yes for paracetamol; if vomiting occurs, ask your doctor.
It depends on the situation — with vomiting a suppository may be an option; a doctor decides.
Commonly yes (brand formulation), but always verify the strength.
An alternating schedule is sometimes given by a doctor; do not stack them on your own.
