my son age is 7 months and 29 days. Last two days he is suffering from fever. suddenly his fever getting up to 37.5 ( celcius) and become low up to 35 (Celcius) I gave him Panadol Cyrup ( Paracitamol) 1 ml(once every 4 hrs). Lastly I gave him Meftal P two times once a six hours. Please, let me know is it suitable Mefatal P in such a circumstance.
Hi dear, I understand your concern .Mefenamic acid(Meftal syrup) is more effective for fever.I suggest to give tepid sponging.Try to give medicines when fever more 38C,don't do overdose,because temperature will fall very down.Keep your baby hydrated with plenty of water.
