Suggest Medication For Viral Fever
Hi Doctor, My Son (12 months old) suffering from Viral Fever ..having very high fever , If we give crocin it does not work, how ever Meftal of 2.5 ml after every hour I am giving it to reduce the high 101*F temperature (Doing it from Past 3 Days). Is it fine....? Today we did the Blood Test and waiting for Result and tomorrow we will get it. Please suggest the Meftal Syrup is fine to continue till his fever gets control ...? Is there any side affect if we give it in this way....or shall we stop the Meftal Syrup....? If we do then it will be difficult to control the fever... IS the 3 Times a day Meftal Syrup 2.5 ml is fine or not?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some bacterial infection as well.
As blood work is done, wait till report.
This will give some idea about type of infection.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine.
Mean while there is no problem giving Meftal as and when required.
Keep him well hydrated.
Ok and take care.
