True but normal medicine usually takes too long for the body to absorb.
If your baby has high fever (>39C), try to wipe his body and especially head area with a damp towel. Medicine usually takes long time to absorb, so ask your doc for 1~2 pieces of those pill insert via anus for faster absorption. After did the both step to reduce the temp, then only proceed to the hospital (doc were sleepy or have to wait for turns).

If you ask me, I would say its really nonsense. Even paeds have different recommendations. Actually they scare baby liver cant cope with the medicine. I do wonder though if there were any difference between taking 5ml every 8hrs vs 2.5ml every 4hrs...
Doctors have their own calculation... basically paracetamol can give 2.5 ml to bb below 5 kg... 5 ml to 10 kg... anus absorb cannot control the medicine quantity that the bb take... its can be fast but it might give bad side effect later on...If your baby has high fever (>39C), try to wipe his body and especially head area with a damp towel.
