Hi, Dr. Sreepriya here
Yor concern is whether you have given accidental overdose of medications
Regarding combiflam it is a combination of 2 medications, ibuprofen and paracetamol
According to your child's weight 3.5ml of medicine was enough
But 5ml might not have caused overdose
Ibuprofen is gastric irritant too
My suggestions
1.Next time for fever try to give plain PARACETAMOL syp.
According weight and as prescribed by doctor
2.you are also concerned that child not active, not taking feeds, crying
Eventhough post febrile period, this can happen,
In case these complaints persist please meet nearby paediatrician
