My child’s fever is persistent even after taking Fagmol Oral Suspension. What should I do?

You should only take four doses of Fagmol Oral Suspension in 24 hours. Ensure there's at least a 4-6 hour gap between two doses. Do not exceed taking it for more than 3 days without consulting your doctor first. Exceeding recommended dose (more than 250 mg/kg) can lead to toxicity and potentially be fatal. An overdose can cause serious liver and kidney damage. If you suspect an overdose, notify your doctor immediately, even if your child seems okay.
Is there any special diet my child needs to follow while taking this medicine?
Unless instructed by your doctor, your child should take a normal balanced diet during this medication. Inadequate nutrition can potentially increase the risk of developing medicinal toxicity.

Can I give Fagmol Oral Suspension on a routine basis when my child is taking a vaccine?
