This Gelocatil product is characterised by a combination of 500 mg paracetamol and 65 mg caffeine. Paracetamol works by reducing fever and acting on muscle aches, while caffeine reduces headaches and provides extra energy to face the day.

What to do to reduce fever in children?

Before taking any action, it is necessary to be clear that a fever in children occurs when the temperature exceeds 38ºC and that when the temperature exceeds 39ºC, the fever will become high, so it will need extra attention.

At Farmaciasdirect, we recommend seeing a paediatrician whenever the fever is above 40ºC, if it lasts for more than 3 days in a row or if the child is less than 5 months old.

For those occasions when the fever is not considered high, i.e. below 39ºC, it is recommended to keep the baby in areas with a pleasant temperature, close to 21ºC, to hydrate the baby and that he/she is not overdressed, thus raising his/her temperature.

On the other hand, for those occasions when the baby has a fever considered high, i.e. above 39ºC, we recommend the use of cold cloths of water on the body, baths with water at a temperature of 3ºC below body temperature, monitoring the fever and contacting a paediatrician if it persists over time.
