Question

A 3-year-old girl began experiencing low fever last night, which improved after medication but recurred in the morning. She has taken two doses of fever-reducing medication during the day, but now has a fever of 40.1 degrees Celsius again. The child has just been given fever-reducing medication, and the parents are asking if suppositories can be used for fever reduction, as well as whether it is safe to administer the medication again if the last dose was more than 4 hours ago.
