Can Crocin DS And Meftal P Be Administered For High Fever And Cough In Children
My Son is 7 years old. He is suffering from high fever and cough. I gave him Crocin (not DS) in the interval of 4 hours in the morning. But the fever dint subside completely. I took him to the doctor. He adviced to give Crocin DS in the interval of 4 hours along with Meftal -P suspension thrice a day. Both are heavy doses for fever. Is it advisable to give Crocin DS and Meftal - P at the same time.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The dose of crocin(Paracetamol) is 15 mg/kg body weight/dose 4-6 hourly depending on the severity of fever.
& years boy is expected to weigh 22 kg.
Crocin-ds contains 50 mg/ml
So about 6ml of crocin need to be given.
Ibuprofen is not required.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
