Hello,
I am sorry about your baby's current health status.
Your kid might be suffering from viral fever.
Just continue with medamol.
Do not give meftal unless your kid high fever above 103 degrees.
If fever doesn't settle in a day or 2, consult your doctor.
Hope I answered your query.Would like to help if needed further.
Regards.
