How Pacimol M Tablet works
Pacimol M 5mg/500mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Metoclopramide and Paracetamol. Metoclopramide is a prokinetic which works on the region in the brain that controls vomiting. It also increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. This prevents nausea and vomiting caused due to migraine. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an anti-pyretic (fever reducer) which blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever associated with migraine.

Hello, It seems your child is having persistent fever which gets subsided only on giving medication. Paracetamol is the right choice anti pyretics. Cold sponging also helps to bring down the temperature. The dose of paracetamol is based on weight of the child. Please also get your child clinically evaluated by a pediatrician. Who may suggest some investigation based on clinical findings.
