Centamol (paracetamol) is appropriate for managing fever, but the correct dose must be based on your child's weight. However, Mega CV is an antibiotic and should never be given without a doctor's prescription. Frequent fevers linked to weather changes are often viral or allergic, where antibiotics are ineffective and potentially harmful. Having four fevers in two months is frequent and requires a pediatrician's evaluation to find the root cause. I cannot recommend a specific cough syrup without examining your child's chest. Please stop the antibiotic, keep your child hydrated with warm fluids, and consult a pediatrician promptly for a safe treatment plan.
