Hello
Lumerax is artemether and lumefantrine and this is a most potent drug for the treatment for acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria .
Dengue is absolutely different disease and treatment is also different .
If as mentioned in the query that your doctor prescribed this drug ( lumerax ) for 60 day for the treatment for dengue ,it is quite surprising .
I will not say any thing about this but one thing I want to tell you that this is a WRONG MEDICINE FOR WRONG DISEASE.
Hope you will understand in better way .
In my opinion consult a qualified physician and get his opinion about your daughter.
I find this answer helpful
