Hi welcome to HCM
Please mention Age /sex, weight of patient if age is less then 13 yrs and the duration of current illness from next time .
maximum drugs dose are depends on body weight.
Now come to your question
Zincold tabelet contains Cetrazine 5 mg+
Phenylephrine 5mg +
Paracetamol 500
Meftal P tab contains
Mefenamic Acid and paracetamol.
THE COMBINATION AND MECHANISM OF ACTION ON ABOVE MENTIONED DRUG IS DIFFERENT EXCEPT pARACETAMOL.
Mefanamic acid better acts on
abdominal pain , pain in period
Paracetamol has property to reduce fever which is available in both medicine.
In my opinion if your daughter is lesser than the age 13 avoid meftal P ( untill unless strongly needed and advice by only
Pediatrician ), give Zincold .
If fever occurs again then
>1 month to 12 years: 10 to 15 mg/kg/dose every 4 to 6 hours as needed (Maximum: 5 doses in 24 hours)
Fever: 4 months to 9 years: Initial Dose: 30 mg/kg (Reported by one study (n=121) to be more effective in reducing fever than a 15 mg/kg maintenance dose with no difference regarding clinical tolerance.)
Calpol and
Crocin are the brand name wich are available anywhere in India and doesn't require any Doctor's Prescriptions . It is available in both Tab and syrup.
Kindly contact to your treating doctor , may required some investigations.
