Fever, On Ibuprofen. Stopped Dosage. Why Swelling In Face?

Hello Sir, My daughter is 4 yrs old with wt 14.5 kg. he had fever 100-103 F. Doctor administered Ibuprofin 8ml * 8 hours. We gave this for two days. Then fever stopesd. By seeing that there was no fever for 24 hours we stopped the dose. Now after 48 hours of gap fever came again 100.5 F. Doctor had advised to start Meftal P if fever does not stop with Ibuprofin. Shall we stat Meftel P? Please let us have your comments. Also she had swelling on face after few dosages of Ibuprofin. Why is this?

Hi..Gms.. if there is face swelling after taking the ibuprofen,
then you need to stop the drug..continue with other antibiotics given...
normally there is less chances of reactions of ibuprofen..

Take care..
