Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

For fever, kindly give paracetamol 10-15 mg/kg/dose every 4 to 6 hourly as required. In between, do cold sponging.

Meftal is nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug and mainly helps in mild to moderate pain.

So instead of Meftal, kindly give paracetamol every 4 to 6 hourly.

In case of not getting relief, I would suggest you to consult with pediatrician for detailed clinical examination. He may procure necessary blood Investigations as per evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Usually temperature come down after 30 to 45 mins of taking paracetamol.

Considering your child weight 14 kg and syrup dosage 125 mg/5 ml, he may require around 8.4 ml/dose.

So insufficient dosage may not be effective. So kindly give proper dosage.

Meftal also has some antipyretic property but it mainly effective in reducing pain and paracetamol has mainly antipyretic activity.

Along with that kindly follow all measures as suggested earlier.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
